Queen to be Meghan Markle officially baptised during secret ceremony ahead of wedding to Prince Harry

Miss Meghan Markle’s baptism, which formally introduces her into the Anglican faith, marks an important step on her transformation from a divorced American actress to future granddaughter-in-law to the Queen.

The intimate 45-minute service was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Chapel Royal on Tuesday evening. Prince Harry was by his fiancee, Meghan Markle’s side.
They were joined by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, but neither Prince William nor the Queen were present.


Holy water from the River Jordan from the private Royal Family font was poured on Meghan’s head in the ceremony and The Chapel Royal choir of six Gentlemen-in-Ordinary and ten Children of the Chapel performed throughout the service, reports say.


A source close to the couple had previously said the former actress had asked the archbishop Justin Welby to conduct the service “as she has formed a close bond with him”.
Meghan, 36, and Harry, 33, who are set to marry on May 19 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
