"Hello, family!" I exclaimed walking into the drawing room.

"Oh my look at the baby bump." Eugenie squealed as everyone turned and looked at me.

"I know, I look huge." I said as I looked at a nearby mirror.

"Someone please, tell her she does not look huge." Demarco said.

"He's right, you look gigantic." Harry said holding his hands far apart to show how huge I was.

"Harry!" Meghan said hitting his arm. "You look great, Cèline." She said.

"Thank you, Meghan." I said, smiling.

"My daughter is going to be a mum and she's still very dramatic, good luck, Demarco." My father said.

"Dramatic? Me?" I asked shocked.

"Yes, you." William answered.

"Anyways, let me hold my goddaughter." I said walking over to Meghan, who was holding baby Rachel.

Princess Rachel was christened on the 5th of June, 2019 in a private 45 minute service attended by a mere 30 friends and family, including the Queen and Meghan's mother. The service took place in St Mary Magdalene church on the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, the same church Princess Diana was christened in 58 years prior. Rachel wore a replica of the christening gown worn by Queen Victoria's children. This is the first time the Sussex were photographed as a family of three, and the first public appearance Princess Rachel has made since she was born in March.
