Meghan Markle Is Official: Archbishop Of Canterbury Raves About Her 'Beautiful' Baptism
The Archbishop of Canterbury gushed about Meghan Markle's baptism into the Church of England held on March 6 and also spared details about the secret ceremony.
Meghan Markle's 'Beautiful' Baptism
“It was very special,” said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. “It was beautiful and sincere and very moving. IT was a great privilege.”
The private ceremony took place inside Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace in London. Markle’s future husband, Prince Harry, attended as well.
The former Suits star's baptism into the Church of England showed respect for Prince Harry’s mother, Queen Elizabeth, who is the leader of the church.
The ceremony is the latest of a series of events that will lead up to Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding day on May 19. Archbishop Welby is slated to officiate the ceremony. He opened up about the future husband and wife.
“At the heart of it is two people who have fallen in love with each other, who are committing their lives to each other with the most beautiful words and profound thoughts, who do it in the presence of God, through Jesus Christ,” said Welby.
He also joked that he hopes he doesn’t make any mistakes in the ceremony such as drop the ring or say the vows incorrectly. He admitted he’s done that before at a rehearsal for one of his children.
Meghan Markle Is In With The Royals
Thankfully for Markle, she also has the support of her future in-laws. The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have reportedly been an encouragement to Markle. The entire royal family is said to have taken Markle under their wing as she prepares to be a part of the prestigious family.
Markle has made a seamless transition from a Hollywood actress in USA’s Suits to royal status. While she hasn’t followed all of the rules and protocol of the royal family, they seem to be just fine with making Markle an exception.
She even got ahead of schedule of going to an event with Queen Elizabeth II earlier this week. Historically, this wouldn’t have happened until she and Prince Harry were married. One thing that could have impressed the queen is Markle knowing the words to the British national anthem.
Markle’s style since Prince Harry proposed has also gotten her lots of positive attention. Her simple yet classy style has certainly been a win for her.
