A press release from Buckingham Palace showed that Louis' grandparents, Prince Charles and Camila will attend, as will Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the Middleton family, including his pregnant aunt, Pippa Middleton Matthews.
Noticeably missing is Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip. The two did not attend today's services, but why?
Buckingham Palace confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that the christening is a fairly small service, so guests only included immediate family and godparents. They also revealed that that decision was “mutually agreed upon some time ago” for them not to attend.
