Who is baby Archie’s godfather Mark Dyer?

ONE of Archie's godparents has been revealed as Mark Dyer after he was spotted at Prince Harry's charity event in West London.

But who is he and how does he know the Duke of Sussex?

Who is Mark Dyer?

Mark Dyer is a former Welsh Guards officer.

He was a royal equerry and served Prince Charles until the mid-1990s.

He was educated at Cheltenham College and one of his nicknames is Marko.

It is said he became a mentor for Prince Harry and Prince William after Princess Diana died.

He married Texan Amanda Kline in 2010 and Prince Harry attended.

Dyer's son Jasper is Prince Harry's godson and was chosen as a page boy for his wedding in 2018.

And Dyer was also one of Harry's ushers as he wed Meghan Markle.

Dyer, 53, is now a trustee of the charity Sentebale, which was co-founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.

In 2009, he founded the management company MDM Bars and Pubs.

Dyer ran The Sand's End, which is where Harry reportedly had secret dates with Meghan.

Dyer sold the pubs in 2017 for more than £10million, but bought the Brook House Pub in Fulham in 2019 with business partner Eamonn Manson.

Harry recently visited the Brook House Pub after announcing he was stepping down as a working royal.

Dyer is described by Harry’s biographer Penny Junor as “one of the few people who talks some sense into him.”

Why were baby Archie's godparents kept secret?

Prince Harry and Meghan have never publicly announced who the godparents to their son Archie were.

However, named Mark Dyer and Prince Harry's former nanny Tiggy Pettifer as Archie's godparents.

Dyer had a brief relationship with Tiggy before marrying in 2010.
