Archie’s big milestone will unfold inQueen Elizabeth’s private chapel at Windsor Castle — a location the new parents chose because they “wanted an intimate, peaceful settingin a place with such a special connection to Her Majesty,” a royal source told PEOPLE. And the Duke and Duchess of Sussex won’t have to travel far from their Frogmore Cottage home, also on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
“This is a beautiful milestone and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world,” said the source.
The larger St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle was the site of Meghan and Harry’s May 2018wedding. Harry was also christened there in 1984.
The timing follows closely to the christenings ofKate MiddletonandPrince William‘s three children — Archie’s big cousins.
Prince George’s christeningoccurred in late October(more than three months after he was born) at the Chapel Royal in London’s St. James’s Palace.Princess Charlotte‘s was held two months after her birth at the St. Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk,on the grounds of the Queen’s Sandringham estate— and very close to William and Kate’s country home, Anmer Hall.
Prince Louis was christenedat the same place as his older brother in July 2018, about three months after his world debut.
