Tyler Perry made sure to bring the gospel to Princess Lilibet Diana's recent christening, which was a small and intimate affair held at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's home in Montecito, California.

While big names such as King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton were not in attendance, the event was still filled with around 20-30 guests, including Meghan's mother and Lilibet's godfather, Tyler Perry.

According to a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who spoke to PEOPLE, Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3rd, by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Reverend John Taylor.

The publication reported that the couple had invited King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton to the ceremony, but they did not attend.

The movie mogul didn't just show up for the occasion - he went above and beyond by bringing a 10-person gospel choir to perform some classic tunes like "Oh Happy Day" and "This Little Light of Mine," the same song played at Meghan and Harry's wedding.

As the godfather, Perry's presence was no surprise, as he revealed in the final episode of the Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan" that the couple had asked him to accept the role when Lili was born in 2021.

The ceremony was officiated by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, Rev John Taylor, and after the formalities, the guests enjoyed a post-ceremony party filled with food and dancing. Even Prince Archie, the three-year-old big brother, got to dance with his little sister, making the event all the more special. Despite its small size, the love and joy felt at Princess Lilibet Diana's christening are sure to last a lifetime.

 

“For society to maintain order, she must be reclassified & her elite status conferred by marriage removed. But, the society is trapped in a conundrum. Her husband and their children are at the top of the pyramid by birth and by blood.”

Congratulations to the happy family! FYI - As grandchildren of the monarch, Archie and Lilibet are afforded the titles of prince and princess.

Despite being asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage by King Charles III, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be given a new offer they can't refuse from Harry's father. The monarch is reportedly considering offering the couple an apartment in Buckingham Palace as their UK residence during their visits. According to the Independent, the suite of rooms that Charles may offer to the couple once belonged to Prince Andrew.

Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," explained that it's likely Charles, who will be crowned on May 6th at London’s Westminster Abbey, would extend an olive branch to his son before the coronation. Andersen shared with Fox News Digital that this could be a way for the king to reconcile with the couple.

"There's been a bit of blowback over the king's decision to evict the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, and the last thing Charles wants is to look like a heartless landlord," Andersen explained. "The king also needs to throw Harry a lifeline - a place where he can bring his family - and feel safe if, at the last minute, the Sussexes decide to show up for the coronation."

"It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to coax Harry and Meghan back to London for the big day," Andersen noted. "Given all the flak they've been getting on both sides of the pond, it's just as likely the Sussexes will opt to shelter in place."

On Sunday, a representative for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed that the Duke of Sussex had received an email from His Majesty's office regarding the upcoming coronation.

Hmm... do you think Prince Harry and Meghan will attend?
