By using a private log in favor of a parish register, the royal family has long ignored this rule, church lawyers told the newspaper. Church of England rules have equivalent force to Acts of Parliament, tweetedBaby Archie's christening has drawn attention to the practice because his godparents' names are being kept under wraps, Palmer added. The names of other major royals' godparents are usually publicly announced, despite of the family's use of a private record.
"Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor appears to be one of a tiny number of royal children for whom it is not possible to obtain christening details because the family ignores the law," he wrote.:"Under the Parochial Registers and Records Measure 1978 all baptisms must be registered and the record made is normally publicly available for searches and for the making of certified copies.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, pose with their newborn son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor during a photocall in St George's Hall at Windsor Castle on May 8, 2019 in Windsor, England. The Duchess of Sussex gave birth at 05:26 on Monday 06 May, 2019.The spokesperson confirmed a royal register will be used instead of a public one Saturday. They added:"We understand that it has never complied with the usual requirement.
The lack of public information about Saturday's christening has provoked ire among royal fans and commentators. Even religious figures have criticized the secrecy surrounding the ceremony. Nicholas Henshall, dean of Chelmsford Cathedral in southeast England told the BBC:"Baptism should never be private—it's a public demonstration of God's love."
😂 maybe they shouldn’t get public money of £2.4 to renovate their house then
Who cares.
Why don't they want to show the baby? What is wrong with it?
Well maybe they are just keeping it secret till the day of christening
Why? This is the stupidest thing ever to be deemed illegal.
Does it really matter? Is it not more a case of people are just too nosey for their own good?
ZeeOneNZ Who gives a fuck!
Oh for heaven's sake . Surely you've got better things to fill your pages. Leave the Sussexes alone.
leave them be
I thought CNN was bad but Newsweek is horrible
Newsweek Newsweek... really? 🙀. You are part of this nonsense? There is nothing else going on with any world economies or Leaders that you have to get involved with this nonsensical media tripe?! Wow H, M & A are surely the most powerful family in the world right now!!
I know who they are.🤭 The Godparents are Barack Obama and wife Michelle. They are on vacation now as we speak over in Europe.
Who cares?
Barack and michelle?
This is so crazy. MSM outlets declaring “WAR” on parents for protecting the privacy of a baby, that those same media outlets have gone out of their way to say he’s not a titled Royal, and have spread what they think is subtle racist messages about that child is absolutely crazy.
Y’all can stay mad with this gas lighting ass “article.”😒
Who cares!!
Is it Jughead?
Good god leave these people alone and who cares anyway 🤦🏻♀️
Omg who gives a shit let them be
Farting in an elevator should be illegal.
Godparent is not a legal designation.
WHO CARES.
Y’all just want to pick apart everything about those Godparents lives. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex is not allowing you to do that before the christening. So y’all will just have to wait. You will do plenty of “picking apart” after the christening.
who gets jailed? Oh shit why does literally anyone care?
Why do people care ?
Obamas.
All that tells us is that at least one of the godparents is not a royal. Probably Serena Williams. If it were royal family members, (like it usually is) they’d announce it.
Who cares
