Dame Sarah Mullally legally becomes the Archbishop of Canterbury in a formal ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Mullally shattered a stained-glass ceiling in October 2025 when she was announced as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the first time a woman has been chosen as the Church of England’s spiritual leader.

The choice of Mullally marks a major milestone for a church that ordained its first female priests in 1994 and its first female bishop in 2015.

She follows 105 men who have held the role since St. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 597
