Frequently Asked Questions
What religion do The Prince and The Duchess practice?
As Christians and as members of the Church of England, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall regularly attend church.The Prince of Wales has, over many years, made clear that, as a committed Christian with a strong personal faith, he believes very strongly that the world in which we live can only become a safer and more united place if we all make the effort to tolerate, accept and understand cultures, beliefs and faiths different from our own.
For this reason, he has spent a lot of time encouraging dialogue and good relations between Britain’s main faith communities.
In 1994, The Prince said of his future role as Head of the Church of England, which he would assume when he becomes King: “I personally would rather see it as Defender of Faith, not ‘The Faith’”.
