Prince William and Princess Kate attended a historic occasion on Wednesday, March 25, watching on as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in history was installed at Canterbury Cathedral. It wasn’t only a milestone moment for Dame Sarah Mullally, but also for the Prince of Wales, who will become the future head of the Church of England when he’s King.
Ahead of Mullally’s installation, a palace source released a rare statement touching on Prince William’s faith and his feelings on the church. Noting that the Prince of Wales “wants to be clear with the public,” the unusual briefing stated that William might not be a regular churchgoer like his father, he has a “quiet faith” and appreciates the “importance of the role he will inherit.”
