Kate Middleton recently confirmed in the Church of England


Kate Middleton has been secretly confirmed in the Church of England after a series of counselling sessions from the Bishop of London in preparation for the Royal Wedding.

Kate Middleton was baptised as a child but was never confirmed as a teenager at the time when most Anglicans go through the process of affirming their faith.

She has now somewhat belatedly become a full member of the Church, which her fiance will one day head as its Supreme Governor, and is eligible to take Holy Communion.

Her confirmation was carried out on March 10 at St James’s Palace by the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, who will give the address at the wedding on April 29.

A St James’s Palace spokesman said: “Catherine Middleton was confirmed by the Bishop of London at a private service at St James’s Palace attended by her family.

“Catherine, who was already baptised, decided to be confirmed as part of her marriage preparations.”
