Meghan Markle’s daughter Lilibet could be baptised with holy water ‘collected from Jordan by Prince Charles’

: "This time the Embassy people asked for a few dozens [bottles] of Holy water and we provided them with five dozen, six dozen, prior to this trip."

He said he was not aware exactly who they would be used for, explaining: "I didn’t know, I didn’t want to ask.

"But they said we wanted it for children to be baptised later on. Future baptisms, yes."

A senior royal aide confirmed that the water had been collected and would be flown back to the UK on the royal flight.

A royal source also confirmed the prince had received the water which was destined for a future royal baptism.

On whether the holy liquid would last, Mr Mkhjian added: "It is pure water blessed from the spot where Jesus was baptised.

"It is holy and blessed from this particular spot in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan."

It is not yet known whether Charles' water will be used to baptise Meghan and Harry's daughter Lilibet, whose baptism details have not yet been confirmed.

In October a spokesman for Harry and Meghan said nothing had been finalised, despite speculation that they could return to the UK for it, introducing Lilibet to her family and the Queen for the first time.

Royal biographer and Editor of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, told The Sun last month she would be “surprised” if the couple opted for a Stateside christening.
