King Charles: Public Invited to Swear Allegiance to King during Coronation – BBC News

Apr 30, 2023 | People watching the Coronation will be invited to join a "chorus of millions" to swear allegiance to King Charles and his heirs, organisers said. The public pledge is one of several striking changes to the ancient ceremony revealed on Saturday. In a coronation full of firsts, female clergy will play a prominent role, and the king himself will pray out loud. The Christian service will also see religious leaders from other faiths have an active part for the first time.


It is rather surprising that they forgot to insist on the plebs having to tug on their forelocks. – © Mark Alexander
