How Duchess Meghan Markle Leans on Her Faith and ‘Close Relationship with God’
People ^ | Feb 6 2019 | Michelle Tauber

Posted on 02/06/2019 5:07:54 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

“Meg is extremely faithful,” a longtime friend tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “We pray a lot together...She has had, and especially has now, a very close relationship with God.”

Meghan, 37, was baptized into the Church of England in a secret ceremony last spring ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry. And the intimate service, which was a significant nod to Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth’s role as head of the Church of England, had special meaning for Meghan, as faith is a key pillar for her.

“A deep sense of gratitude and humility has guided her,” the friend continues. “We can still be modern women...and be strong moms and strong wives but understand that our relationship with God is so critical.”

Meghan has also grown close to the Archbishop Justin Welby, who not only conducted her baptism, but also officiated her wedding. It’s her respect for the church that leads another close confidante to call rumors that Meghan insisted for St. George’s Chapel to be sprayed with air freshener ahead of the ceremony “outrageous.”

“If people knew how spiritual she is and how serious and respectful she takes her relationship with God—she would never ask for something like that...”

“The day after the wedding I said, ‘You were so serene.’

She’s like, ‘I’m there, I’m with Harry, I’m with you guys, and I’m with the leader of my church.’ She doesn’t think about the narrative: ‘What will people think?’ She doesn’t do that. She really lives in the current moment. And when you do that, there’s no fear.

“She and Harry are both very grounded. She has a firm understanding of the things she can and can’t control. And she tries not to put any effort into the things she can’t control.”

Oh good grief.
People magazine?
Give me a break.
The next thing they’ll be telling us is that Pope Che is really a Catholic.

Many people have the same god as her. It’s called the mirror.

“I give it five years max.”

My mom says Kate may do the witch in in the next three years. Oil and water.

I do not like her either. She is a phony baloney actress playing the role of a “royal wife”.

Every word out of her mouth underscores how extremely stupid Harry is.

I wonder why so many Americans care about this either way...

It seems a case of ‘not my circus, not my monkeys’.

I’m not terribly interested in most of the royals. But I have great respect for the Queen.

I don’t either.
“Gratitude and humility...”
Yeah, that explains the numerous reports she was doggedly determined since childhood to be a princess.
