Harry a Meghan na svém instagramovém účtu zveřejnili dvě fotografie ze křtu. Jednu oficiální, na které jsou zachyceni s princem Charlesem, jeho manželkou Camillou, princem Williamem s vévodkyní Kate, Meghaninou matkou Dorií Raglandovou a sestrami princezny Diany lady Jane Fellowsovou a lady Sarah McCorquodaleovou. Druhá fotografie již zachycuje okamžik, kdy rodiče něžně drží malého Archieho.
„Vévoda a vévodkyně z Sussexu jsou šťastní, že se mohou podělit o radost z tohoto dne s lidmi, kteří je od narození syna neuvěřitelně podporují. Děkují za milá slova při narození jejich prvního potomka a oslavě této výjimečné chvíle. Jejich královské Výsosti jsou šťastné, že si tento den užily s rodinou a kmotry Archieho,“ napsala dvojice na Instagram k fotografiím, jejichž autorem je Chris Allerton.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Královna Alžběta II. na křtinách však chyběla, měla totiž státní povinnosti. Už v předstihu přitom Harry a Meghan avizovali, že křtiny chtějí soukromé. Neprozradili také jména kmotrů.
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor měl na sobě stejně jako děti prince Williama repliku krajkových šatů z roku 1841, které tehdy pořídila královna Viktorie pro křest nejmladší dcery. Zajímavostí je, že Archieho otec, princ Harry, byl ještě pokřtěn v originálu.
