BIRMINGHAM: The US actress Meghan Markle has been baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the Church of England, ahead of her royal wedding in May to Britain's Prince Harry, the Daily Mail newspaper reported on Thursday. The 45-minute ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, spiritual head of the Anglican communion of millions of Christians globally, took place at the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London on Tuesday, the paper said. The service observed full ritual, with holy water from the River Jordan from the private royal family font poured on Markle's head, the paper said. "Meghan said that one day she will see me being an actress," said the girl, Sophia Richards. "It was like a miracle," said Francesco Farina while his friend Ariadna added: "I'm never washing my hand again."
