Prince Harry’s fiancee, Meghan Markle, Will Reportedly Be Baptized This Month

Markle, who was raised Protestant and attended Catholic school as a child, will be both baptized and confirmed by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, reports Roya Nikkhah, royal correspondent for the Times.

The report claims that Markle has requested that Justin Welby, performs the ceremony because she has ‘formed a close bond with him’.

In advance of her May 19 wedding to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle is joining the Church of England. The Sunday Times reports that her christening will be held in a chapel at Kensington Palace sometime in March, and that her parents will join her for the ceremony.

Her father, Thomas, will travel to the wedding from Mexico, according to the Sunday Times, while her mother, Doria Ragland, will come from California.

Markle was not formally required to become an Anglican in order to marry Harry, but it is believed that she wanted to do so out of respect for the Queen, who is the head of the Church of England.

Markle and Prince Harry will be married at Windsor Castle.
