Diana was four and six years younger than Jane and Sarah, respectively.
Lady Sarah is perhaps remembered as the woman who introduced Diana to her future husband Charles, having briefly dated the royal first.
Meghan and Harry chose to have their son’s christening at Windsor Castle because they “wanted an intimate, peaceful settingin a place with such a special connection to Her Majesty,” a royal source told PEOPLE.
Additionally, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not have to travel far from their Frogmore Cottage home, as it’s on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
“This is a beautiful milestone and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world,” said the source of Harry and Meghan, who wore a white Dior dress to her son’s christening.
