It’s now six months since King Charles
took the throne and the start of his reign has seen plenty of

Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. The alteration came after

It’s a typo that might have had
constitutional consequences. As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
announced that their daughter had been christened, they said the

a baby girl is baptised in California. Announcing the christening
of their daughter, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex referred to her
