The Coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a monarch is crowned in the UK in 70 years
King Charles will make history when he becomes the oldest monarch to be crowned at his coronation ceremony on May 6. It will be a big moment for the United Kingdom, marking the first coronation of a monarch since Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1953 - 70 years ago.
The King’s Coronation will likely have a much larger television audience, but there will be fewer people there in person. It is understood that around 2,000 invites were sent out to family and friends of the King and Queen, politicians, world leaders, celebrities and everyday heroes. The coronation oath, in which the monarch declares that they will maintain the established Anglican Protestant Church, rule according to laws agreed in Parliament, and cause law, justice and mercy to be executed in their judgment, has been adjusted slightly to reflect modern times.
The coronation regalia, which includes the Robe Royal, the Sovereign’s Orb and Ring and the Coronation Glove, will be held by peers from Christian and non-Christian faith traditions for the first time. The change has been made to recognise multi-faith Britain, but non-Christian peers will only hold regalia that does not have explicit Christian motifs.
Before the crowning, and out of sight behind the screen, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will anoint Charles making the sign of the cross on his hand, breast and head with holy oil. An expected move away from traditional coronation dress Usually, the King would wear traditional silk stockings and breeches to the coronation ceremony, but King Charles III could decide against this, according to reports.
On Saturday, Camilla will arrive wearing the late Queen’s crimson Robe of State, made for Elizabeth II’s coronation, which has been conserved with adjustments and has a train of 5.5 metres. At the end of the ceremony, Camilla switches into her newly-made purple velvet Robe of Estate.
