Meghan Markle is taking on Prince Harry’s religion before their wedding

MEGHAN Markle will be baptised this month prior to her wedding out of respect for the Queen — with her parents attending the ceremony.

PRINCE Harry’s fiancee Meghan Markle — who was raised Protestant, attended a Catholic school and was once married to a Jewish man — will be baptised and confirmed as an Anglican, the Sunday Times of London has reported.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will preside at the ceremony at Kensington Palace, the newspaper said.

Among those who will attend the ceremony, which will be held this month — possibly as early as this week — are her parents.

Meghan’s father, Thomas, lives in Mexico and has not yet met his future son-in-law.

Her mother, Doria Ragland, will travel to London from her home in California.

The bride-to-be does not have to be Anglican to marry the prince.

The report said she chose to be baptised as a sign of respect for Queen Elizabeth’s role as head of the Church of England.

The couple will marry on May 19 in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Meghan’s father and mother are Protestant. They divorced when she was six years old. She went to the Catholic Immaculate Heart girls-only private high school in Los Angeles. Her first husband, Trevor Engelson, was Jewish.
