Ms Markle was baptised at the Chapel Royal during a closely-guarded ceremony at which only a handful of royal aides were in attendance 
  
 Meghan Markle has been baptised into the Church of England in a secret ceremony with Prince Harry at her side. 
  
 The intimate 45-minute service was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Chapel Royal on Tuesday evening. 
  
 They were joined by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, but neither Prince William nor the Queen were present. 
  
 Miss Markle’s baptism, which formally introduces her into the Anglican faith ahead of her wedding to Harry in two months, marks an important step on her transformation from divorced American actress to future granddaughter-in-law to the Queen. 
  
 The ceremony was a closely-guarded secret with only a handful of royal aides involved. 
  
 Miss Markle, 36, had asked the 62-year-old Archbishop, Justin Welby, to lead the service after forming a close bond with him in recent weeks as he instructed her on the rites and sacraments of the Church. 
  
 Her baptism was followed immediately by her confirmation, which means she will be able to join Harry, 33, at Holy Communion. 
  
 Miss Markle did not need to become an Anglican in order to marry Harry in church, but at the time of their engagement last November she made clear she had chosen to be baptised and confirmed out of respect for the Queen’s role as the head of the Church of England. 
  
 The Chapel Royal is where Princess Diana’s body lay for a week before her funeral in 1997 and where King Charles I received the Holy Sacrament before his execution in 1649 
  
 Insiders also said it was fitting that the Prince of Wales, who will be the next head of the Church, attended the service. 
  
 Miss Markle and Harry will marry on May 19 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The marriage service will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor, David Connor, with the Archbishop presiding as the couple make their vows. 
  
 Tuesday’s service observed the full ritual of the Church with holy water from the River Jordan from the private Royal Family font poured on Miss Markle’s head. 
  
 The Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace is particularly significant in Harry’s life as well as the history of the Royal Family. 
  
 It is where Princess Diana’s body lay for a week before her funeral in 1997 and where King Charles I received the Holy Sacrament before his execution in 1649. 
  
 The chapel also hosted Prince George’s christening in 2013. 
  
 Among those assisting with the service was the Crown Jeweller Mark Appleby, who brought the silverware used for Royal Family christenings. This included a silver font, basin and flask of holy oil. 
  
 In accordance with tradition Miss Markle had two sponsors, the equivalent of godparents, to support her in the baptism. 
  
 It is understood one supporter was a close girlfriend. 
  
 Miss Markle was following partly in the footsteps of the Duchess of Cambridge, who was baptised as an infant but had a private confirmation after her engagement to Prince William.

 The Chapel Royal choir of six Gentlemen-in-Ordinary and ten Children of the Chapel – the oldest continuous musical organisation in the world – performed throughout the service. 
  
 It is not thought either Miss Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, or her father, Thomas Markle, who are divorced, travelled from the US for the service. 
  
 However, it is understood there were 18 guests who after the ceremony walked to Clarence House, where Charles and Camilla hosted a dinner. 
  
 Miss Markle’s multi-faith upbringing is not uncommon in California where she was born in 1981. 
  
 The chapel also hosted Prince George’s christening in 2013. The young royal is pictured arriving for his first day at school at Thomas's School in Battersea 
  
 Her father, a retired Hollywood lighting director, was Episcopalian – the main US offshoot of the Anglican Church – while her mother belonged to another Protestant denomination. 
  
 After her parents split, Miss Markle attended the Roman Catholic Immaculate Heart girls’ high school in Los Angeles, although she was not Catholic. 
  
 Her first husband Trevor Engelson was Jewish but she did not convert to his faith. The couple met in 2004 and married in 2011 but were divorced two years later. 
  
 Church guidelines suggest that Miss Markle may be interviewed about her divorce from Engelson, a film producer. 
  
 If such a conversation were to occur, the minister would ask if there had been ‘sufficient healing of the personal and social wounds’ from the divorce. 
  
 The Church of England conducted 111,500 baptisms last year, of which 9 per cent were for those aged over 13. 
  
 Guidance from one church notes: ‘If you are an adult and want to be baptised and/or confirmed, you must undertake a course of preparation called catechesis. 
  
 'This takes place over several months in order to give you a thorough grounding in knowledge of the Christian faith.’ 
  
 Kensington Palace declined to comment. ||||| Meghan Markle is one step closer to becoming a royal. 
  
 The royal bride-to-be was baptized into the Church of England in a secret ceremony on Tuesday evening with fiancé Prince Harry by her side, according to a new report in the Daily Mail by veteran royals columnist Richard Kay. 
  
 The move is a significant nod to Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth�?s role as head of the Church of England. 
  
 The 45-minutes service, which was also attended by her future father-in-law, Prince Charles, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was reportedly conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Royal Chapel at St. James’s Palace in London.

 Meghan was brought up as an Episcopalian — which has some similarities to the Church of England — but was enrolled in a Catholic high school in Los Angeles. Shortly after her engagement in November, palace sources outlined her plans to formally be baptized into the Church of England. 
  
 Harry was baptized as an Anglican shortly after he was born. 
  
 The former Suits actress’ move matches that of Kate Middleton, 36, who was confirmed into the Church of England in a private service at St. James’s Palace in the weeks leading up to her 2011 marriage to Prince William. ||||| On Tuesday at St. James’ Palace's Royal Chapel in London, Meghan Markle got baptized and confirmed into the Church of England, sticking tightly to tradition. Though many of the church's beliefs aren't that far off from what Markle likely learned at Catholic school back in Los Angeles, her decision to become an official member of the Church of England holds a lot of significance. 
  
 Markle's latest decision isn't in the very least bit surprising. All the way back in November, Prince Harry’s Communications Secretary, Jason Knauf, confirmed she was set on doing this, People reported. The Church of England, which is Protestant Anglican, has been inextricably linked to the royal family for centuries. It started in the early 1500s when Pope Leo X gave King Henry VIII the title of "Defender of the Faith." But soon after, the king broke away from Catholicism (and thus, the pope) and was given a new name: the Supreme Head of the Church of England. As the British Monarchist Foundation explained in an article, the Queen now gets to choose bishops and archbishops. On top of that, the Preface to the 39 Articles of the Church of England essentially crowns the sovereign as Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, all "by God's Ordinance." 
  
 So, you can see how things might have gotten awkward if Markle refused to join the church of the queen. It's basically a right of passage in the Royal Family.

 Though church and state seem more intertwined in the United Kingdom than in the United States, it's important to note that the monarchy definitely accepts other religions. In 2004, for instance, the Queen said, "Everyone is our neighbour, no matter what race, creed or colour.” In fact, attending traditional church ceremonies seems to becoming less and less popular among U.K. citizens. At the beginning of 2016, The Guardian reported that attendance at Church of England ceremonies dropped to below 1 million people per week. In other words, less than two percent of the U.K. population partake. That's not to say more people don't identify with the Church of England or practice in their own way. 
  
 But the Church of England's homepage reassures people that no one is ever too old and that "being baptized as an adult is a wonderful experience." Unlike the photo on the Church of England's homepage though, Markle probably wasn't baptized in a plastic pool. St. James' Palace, where the baptism took place, was built in the 1500s and still houses the Royal Court. 
  
 As a matter of fact, Markle wasn't the only woman who got confirmed there before marrying into the Royal Family. Kate Middleton was confirmed at the same place prior to marrying Harry's brother, Prince William, in 2011. 
  
 Markle and Prince Harry are set to be married on May 19, 2018. The location — St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in England — is actually where Prince Harry was baptized. And don't worry. You don't have to be invited to the wedding in order to watch the vows be taken in real-time. Us Weekly reported that the couple's spokesperson said they want everyone to feel included. 
  
 The couple of course want the day to be a special, celebratory moment for their friends and family. They also want the day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too and are currently working through ideas for how this might be achieved. 
  
 And now that Markle has been both baptized and confirmed, she's one step closer to becoming an official member of the Royal Family. |||||

Meghan Markle is following in the footsteps of her future sister-in-law, having been baptized and confirmed into the Church of England ahead of her marriage to Prince Harry. Fiance Harry, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, attended Markle's intimate baptism and confirmation Tuesday in the Royal Chapel at St. James' Palace in London, People reports, citing a report in the Daily Mail. Prior to her marriage to Prince William, Kate Middleton was also confirmed into the Church of England in a private service at St. James' Palace. Joining the Protestant Anglican church, which recognizes Queen Elizabeth II as its head, is "basically a right of passage in the Royal Family," per Bustle. In Markle's case, the ceremony was performed by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who is helping prepare Prince Harry and Markle for their May 19 wedding at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel, which is where Harry was baptized. Markle, who was raised Episcopalian before attending Catholic school, can now take part in Holy Communion.
