Queen Elizabeth II was more than happy when Meghan was baptized in March 2018. The ceremony was held privately with the attendance of members of the royal family- Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. Kate Middleton also did this step a while ago prior to her marriage to Prince William in 2011. Even though this step isn’t required, the Duchesses did it as a gesture of respect to the Queen.
The traditional church of the royal family is the Church of England. The family has been involved in this Protestant-Anglican church since the 1500s. Queen Elizabeth is very dedicated to it. Besides attending the services, she is also involved with the church’s policy.

The Royals have their favorite church, just like many other American families. For special occasions, they always pick church of St. Mary Magdalene, which was built in the 16th century. It is full of Gothic arches and historic artifacts.
This church even owns an incredible jewel-encrusted Bible. Even though there have been many renovations and repairs over the years, this is still the Queen’s favorite, and the family gathers there whenever they can.
Meghan and her husband will face many challenges next year since they are welcoming their new baby. We don’t know yet whether Meghan will raise the child to be as spiritual as she is, but we can surely say that religion brings a sense of calmness and makes life challenges easier.
