The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Lambeth Palace on February 5th, to formally meet the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, since she assumed office as the first woman to lead the Church of England.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were greeted by Dame Sarah Mullally, the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the steps of Lambeth Palace and held informal talks in the Archbishop’s study.
Dame Sarah was officially confirmed in her role in a traditional ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral on January 28th, and made her oath of allegiance to the King on February 4th. The Prince of Wales is expected to attend the Installation of the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury at Canterbury Cathedral on March 25th.
Earlier, the Prince of Wales received His Highness the Aga Khan V, the 50th Hereditary Imam of Nizari Ismailism. at Kensington Palace after King Charles III held a Dinner for Prince Rahim al-Hussaini Aga Khan, the Aga Khan V at Windsor Castle.
The Queen, Head of the Church of England, led the Royal Family at the Service to rededicate the Chapel at Lambeth Palace, the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1955.
The Chapel was heavily damaged following a direct hit by a German incendiary bomb during World War II. The hit destroyed the ceiling and all of the windows were broken. Scorch marks can still be seen on the marble tiled floor today.
Restoration work was carried out by architects Lord Mottistone and Mr Paul Paget. Modern glass was inserted into the remaining window frames by Carl Edwards and Hugh Powell, who attempted to recreate the same themes and designs as the original windows designed by Morton in 1486.
The Chapel, which was badly damaged during WWII, was rededicated on 19 October 1955 in a service attended by The Queen.
