Let's talk about love and commitment, shall we? The Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Revd and Rt Hon Justin Welby, has some pretty glowing things to say about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to him, this royal couple-to-be has shown an incredible level of dedication to one another throughout their relationship. In a recent interview, Welby praised Harry, who's 33, and Meghan, 36, for choosing to marry in the Church of England. It’s not just about tradition for them—it’s a deeply personal decision.
Now, during an interview on BBC Radio Four's Today program on December 12, Welby made it crystal clear that this wasn't just a checkbox on their to-do list. He said, “I am very, very sure after conversations that this is no tick-box exercise of ‘We ought to get married in the church.’ There is a profound sense of commitment, of seriousness both about faith and about their lives together which is quite inspirational.” That’s some serious praise, folks. It’s clear that this union is more than just a royal wedding—it's a testament to their shared values and beliefs.

What Meghan Needs to Do Before the Big Day
Now, here’s something interesting. Meghan, whose dad is Presbyterian and mom is Protestant, has a couple of things to check off her list before she walks down the aisle in May 2018. She’ll need to be baptized in the Church of England and also gain UK citizenship to officially become Harry’s wife. It’s not just about the wedding—it’s about fully integrating into the royal family and its traditions.
While it’s widely assumed that Archbishop Welby will officiate the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, he mentioned he hasn’t officially been asked yet. When asked about it, Welby said, “I think that’s up to them.” But he’s confident it’s going to be a breathtaking moment. “Of course, it’s important because people will look at it and they’ll see a model of how two people commit their lives to one another before God, in the presence of millions of people. That’s going to be wonderful, it’s always a beautiful moment. Every wedding is profoundly beautiful.”
