The Queen Consort will be anointed and crowned as well in a shorter ceremony.Ĭanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon will have small parts in the ceremony. After Charles takes his seat, peers kneel before him and pay homage. It houses the Stone of Scone which Edward I brought from Scotland to the Abbey in 1296. He’s also “anointed, blessed and consecrated” by the Archbishop and seated in a 700-year old throne known as King Edward’s chair.

The King takes an oath to uphold the laws and customs of the nations in his realm and to maintain the Church of England, whose adherents are called Anglicans. There’s plenty of pomp and pageantry surrounding the coronation but it’s essentially a religious service. A post shared by Royal Collection Trust What happens during the ceremony?
