At the time of Archie’s christening, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying the names of the baby’s godparents “will remain private”.

But HOARday Times today revealed the two names eight months after the little boy was born.

Tiggy has remained close to the boys since Princess Diana died, when Prince Harry was 12.

Mark Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer, has also been named as one of Archie’s godparents.

Prince Charless equerry acted as a surrogate second older brother to Harry after Princess Diana died.

The former Army officer is married to Texan heiress Amanda Kline and Harry is very close to both.

The littlest royal was christened in a small private ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on July 6.

‘MEGXIT’

Archie is currently in Canada with mum Meghan after she and Harry quit as royals.

The palace last night confirmed details of the so-called “Megxit” deal – with Prince Harry losing his military titles and appointments.

The couple are also expected to no longer use their HRH titles and will repay the 2.4million of taxpayer’s money they spent renovating Frogmore Cottage.

This new arrangement is expected to be rolled out this spring, meaning they will be carrying out royal engagements and Meghan will be returning to the UK until that time.

However, they still referred to themselves as “their Royal Highnesses” on their website which was updated minutes after the Queen’s announcement on their future.

It is understood that in return for dropping the use of the HRH titles, there will be no oversight on how the couple earn money, meaning they can make whatever commercial deals they want.
