Prince Harry’s first born is expected to wear the iconic gown like his cousins donned, the Honiton lace and silk-satin gown that has been in the family since 2004.

The original gown created in 1841 was worn by over 60 royal babies, the Queen was even christened in the frock.

But 15years ago the Queen instructed her dresser Angela Kelly to make a replica as the original gown was too delicate.

Washed in spring water and stored in darkness until each christening everyone can’t wait for Archie’s big day.
