Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway once highlighted an incorrect detail in a statement from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about their daughter Lilibet's christening.

Earlier this month, Harry dashed back to the UK for a quick visit with his father King Charles III after news of his health crisis broke. There is now talk that he may return on a part-time basis to assist with Royal duties while his father undergoes treatment.

During an interview with Will Reeve on Good Morning America, Harry hinted at future UK visits, saying "I have other trips planned. That would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so you know, I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can". This could suggest he wants to be more involved with Royal responsibilities.

This follows the recent launch of their new website, where their Royal titles are displayed prominently, reports The Daily Record. The website has moved from archewell. com to sussex.com, and the homepage now reads "Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex".

They are still allowed to use these titles even after stepping down from Royal duties, though they cannot use their HRH titles any longer. Archie and Lilibet, aged four and two, are now officially a prince and princess because their grandparent is the king.

Last year, Royal fans got a surprise when Harry and Meghan said their little girl, Princess Lilibet Diana, was christened at their home in LA. It was the first time they called her a princess and showed they would use Royal titles for their kids.

Harry and Meghan's spokesperson shared: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor." But Kate on Good Morning Britain noticed something wasn't quite right with the statement.

The TV host said: "You worry that the Sussexes don't particularly help themselves, don't you? They put out a statement saying the Princess Lillibet was christened last Friday by the bishop of Los Angeles which was a former journalist actually, a profession Harry's not always keen on."

Kate added: "But actually in the statement, they called him the Archbishop of Los Angeles, which is factually inaccurate and you just think, gosh, someone who is so keen on accuracy and representation it seems so unhelpful that things like that are wrong.

"If you're challenging reporting and the accuracy of that about yourself, you've got to get your own facts right haven't you?" Before he became a priest, he worked for former US President Richard Nixon from 1984 to 1990.

They talked about Lilibet's christening before King Charles' big day. People wondered if Harry and Meghan would come with their kids. In the end, Harry went alone and flew back to LA on the same day. At that time, Kate said, "We presume and we hope that they will both want to show love and support for King Charles at that."

"We're very fond of them. It's such a mess and we want to unravel it for everybody." Lilibet was born in June 2021. She is Harry and Meghan's second child. Their first child, Archie, was born in May 2019. The family moved to the US in 2020 after they stopped being working royals.
