"They must have done it before. They did it for Archie. Clearly, they did it for Louis when he was born. So where's Lilibet? I can forgive them a week or two, but a month?
"It does feel like to me, maybe, they are making a point," he concluded.
A source claimed earlier this month that Prince Harry, 36, told a number of people close to him that he and Meghan, 39, are keen to have Lili christened at Windsor Castle – the same place as Archie – in a special moment for the family.
"Harry told several people that they want to have Lili christened at Windsor, just like her brother,” a source told the Daily Mail.
The publication then revealed the insider suggested the couple are happy to “wait until circumstances allow”.
