Meghan Markle has been baptised by the Archbishop of Canterbury before her marriage to Prince Harry. Holy water from the River Jordan was used during the private, 45-minute ceremony at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace on Tuesday evening. Ms Markle, 36, was admitted to the Anglican faith with Harry, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall watching, according to the Daily Mail. The Most Rev Justin Welby was asked to lead the service by Ms Markle after they became close during religious instruction. Her confirmation is said to have immediately followed the baptism, allowing her to join Harry, 33, at Holy Communion.
