Alright, listen up, friends. We all know that saying "I do" is the easy part. But let's talk about the real work that comes with marrying into the royal family. On November 27, Meghan Markle made it official—she’s joining the House of Windsor after her engagement to Prince Harry. Now, sure, it sounds like a fairy tale, but there's a lot more to it than just putting on a sparkly dress and waving to the crowd. Let's break down what Meghan has to do before she officially becomes a royal.
Step One: Joining the Church of England
First things first, Meghan needs to become a member of the Church of England. And guess what? Her soon-to-be grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, is the head of that church. While Meghan’s dad is Episcopalian and her mom is Protestant, which aren’t too far off from the Church of England, Meghan still needs to go through the motions. That means getting baptized and confirmed. Prince Harry's Communications Secretary, Jason Knauf, confirmed to People that Meghan is all in on this step. So, yeah, she’s ready to dive in—literally and figuratively.
What Does an Adult Baptism Look Like?
Now, you might be wondering, what exactly does an adult baptism entail? Is Meghan going to get dunked in a river or something? Well, not exactly, but she will definitely get wet. According to the Church of England’s website, "this may involve water being poured on your head at the font, or the church may have a special pool and you will be fully immersed in the water." Either way, it’s going to be a memorable moment, filled with joy and symbolism. It’s not just about the water; it’s about Meghan fully embracing her new role and faith.

Following in Kate Middleton’s Footsteps
Let’s not forget that Kate Middleton paved the way for this tradition before she married Prince William. While Kate was already baptized in the church, she still had to be confirmed. Meghan, on the other hand, has to do both. But wait, there’s more! Meghan also needs to get her UK citizenship since she was born an American citizen. It’s like filling out paperwork for the biggest job interview ever, except this job comes with a crown.
Leaving Hollywood Behind
Meghan is going to have to make some big changes in her life to marry Harry, and that’s just part of the deal when you’re joining the royal family. On November 28, Meghan revealed that she’s leaving her acting career behind. Now, I don’t know about you, but if I had the choice between being a princess and being an actress, I’d pick the tiara every time. It’s a bold move, but it shows just how committed Meghan is to her new life.
Wrapping It Up
So, there you have it. Meghan Markle is ready to take on the world—or at least the royal family—with everything she’s got. From getting baptized to changing her career path, she’s diving headfirst into this new chapter of her life. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to join the most famous family in the world? Here’s to Meghan and Harry, and to the exciting journey ahead of them.
