The anointing of the king – “the most sacred moment” in the service, according to Lambeth Palace – will be conducted behind a screen. In 1994, Charles caused controversy by suggesting he would prefer to be regarded as defending all faiths, rather than being defender of the Protestant faith. He will declare that he is a “faithful Protestant” and he will pledge to “uphold and maintain” the Protestant succession to the throne. Welby will preface the coronation oath by saying the established church which the king swears to maintain “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely”.Īlthough Welby will later refer to the monarch as “defender of the faith” – a title bestowed by the state, not the church – Charles himself will not speak the words. This will be unamplified because of the prohibition on using electricity on the Jewish sabbath. Peers from different faiths will take part in the presentation of regalia, and at the end of the service the newly crowned king will receive a greeting spoken in unison by representatives of Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and Buddhist communities. The service will start with a procession of faith representatives of the Jewish, Sunni and Shia Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Bahá’í and Zoroastrian communities.

However, Graham Smith of the pressure group Republic said the coronation was already costing £100m. Insiders said that the arrangement was nothing extravagant: “It’s basically a raised stage and some carpet.” In 1953, it was shut for months while rehearsals took place – something that was deemed an impossible imposition on the abbey and its finances in 2023. Palace sources said the set had been devised so that Westminster Abbey would not have to be closed for any longer than necessary. It has also emerged that rehearsals for the coronation have been aided by the construction of a movie-style set of Westminster Abbey inside Buckingham Palace’s ballroom.Ī scale model of the abbey stage has been installed to ensure everyone with a part to play – including the king – has ample chance to practise before rehearsals start in the abbey this week. “It is my prayer that all who share in this service, whether they are of faith or no faith, will find ancient wisdom and new hope that brings inspiration and joy.” Photograph: Neil Turner/Lambeth Palace/PAīut the coronation was “first and foremost an act of Christian worship”, he said.
