Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the youngest member of Britain's royal family, is being christened these moments in a private family ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The 2-month-old son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has arrived to the Queen private chapel at the castle, whose Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, head of the Church of England will be in attendence for the christening. It's a small venue believed to only hold about 30 people.

Earlier, media reports said that like other royal babies, Archie will wear the handmade replica of the royal christening robe, made by Angela Kelly, dressmaker to the Queen, during the ceremony, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

Parents Prince Harry and Meghan have spurred uproar for keeping the occasion private and never disclosed any glimpse about it, they have also declined to reveal the names of Archie's godparents.

The event is said to be attended by 25 guests only. The royal couple plans to release official photos of the baptism later.

Archie was born May 6 and is seventh in line to the British throne.
