May 07, 2023

The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, took place on 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey. Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II.

The ceremony was structured around an Anglican service of Holy Communion. It included Charles being anointed with holy oil, receiving the coronation regalia, and being crowned, emphasising his spiritual role and secular responsibilities. Representatives of the Church of England and the British royal family declared their allegiance to him, and the people throughout the Commonwealth realms were invited to do so. Camilla was crowned in a shorter and simpler ceremony. After the service, members of the royal family travelled to Buckingham Palace in a state procession and appeared on the palace's balcony. Charles and Camilla's coronation service was altered from past British coronations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom, and was shorter than his mother's coronation in 1953.

The coronation elicited both celebrations and protests in the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. The public of the United Kingdom have been encouraged to take part in street parties from 6 to 8 May and volunteering on 8 May, and a concert is planned for 7 May at Windsor Castle; congregations of the Church of England have planned to hold special commemorative church services throughout the country. Events were planned to mark the event in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Crown Dependencies and overseas territories. Surveys carried out in the United Kingdom in April 2023 suggested that the public was ambivalent toward both the event and the royal family in general. Protests were held by republican groups in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The coronation at Westminster Abbey was broadcast on television and streamed online, as will be the concert at Windsor Castle.

Charles and Camilla's coronation was the first of a British monarch in the 21st century, the first to be seen live around the world, and the 40th coronation to be held at Westminster Abbey since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066.[1][a]

Preparation

Background

Charles III became king immediately upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, at 15:10 BST on Thursday 8 September 2022. He was proclaimed king by the Accession Council of the United Kingdom on Saturday 10 September,[3] which was followed by proclamations in other Commonwealth realms.[4] During Elizabeth's reign planning meetings for Charles' coronation, codenamed "Operation Golden Orb", were held at least once a year, attended by representatives of the government, the Church of England, and Charles' staff.[5][6][7]

Service and procession

As Earl Marshal, Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk, was in charge of organising the coronation.[8] A committee of privy counsellors arranged the event.[9][7]

The date of the coronation was announced on 11 October 2022; the choice of 6 May 2023 ensured sufficient time to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II before holding a joyous ceremony.[10][9][7]

 
Invitation to the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

The British government decided the guest list, as the coronation was a state event and funded by the government.[11] Guests included members of the British royal family, representatives of the British government and houses of Parliament, representatives of the governments of the other Commonwealth realms, and foreign royalty and heads of state.[12] Safety regulations at Westminster Abbey restricted the number of guests to around 2,000, as in contrast to earlier coronations no temporary stands were erected in the building.[13] A Coronation Claims Office was established within the Cabinet Office to handle claims to perform a historic or ceremonial role at the coronation, replacing the Court of Claims.[14] The posts of Lord High Steward and Lord High Constable of England, two of the Great Officers of State that are now only named for coronations, were respectively given to General Sir Gordon Messenger, Constable of the Tower, and Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff.[15]

The holy anointing oil used in the service was consecrated by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on 6 March 2023, under the supervision of Hosam Naoum, the Anglican archbishop in Jerusalem. It was based on the same formula as the oil used in the coronation of Elizabeth II, but without animal products such as civet.[16][17][18]

In the evening and early morning of 17 and 18 April, dress rehearsals began taking place in London for the military processions.[19] The RAF was also seen rehearsing for the flypast on 19 April.[20] On 3 May, Charles and Camilla, William, Prince of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales, their children, and Anne, Princess Royal, attended coronation rehearsals at Westminster Abbey.[21]

Westminster Abbey was closed to tourists and worshippers from 25 April for preparations, and would not re-open until 8 May.[22] As at previous coronations, many attendees had an obscured view, with insufficient space in the abbey's nave.[23]

Vestments and crowns

In a break with tradition, Charles's coronation vestments were largely reused from previous coronations instead of being newly made.[24][25] While it is customary for the supertunica and robe royal to be reused, Charles also wore vestments first used by George IV, George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II. Camilla similarly reused vestments, including Elizabeth II's robe of state, but also wore a new robe of estate featuring her cypher, bees, a beetle, and various plants and flowers, including lily of the valley, myrtle, delphinium, lady's mantle, maidenhair fern, and cornflowers.[25] Camilla's coronation gown was created by Bruce Oldfield and has bracelet-length sleeves, a wide neckline and a short train.[26] Made out of peau de soie, it was embroidered with ivory, silver and gold wildflowers, symbolic of Charles and Camilla's love for nature.[26] The front hem of the underskirt and the dress's cuffs feature floral emblems of the four home nations.[26] Above the hem were embroidered Camilla's cypher, a pair of dogs, and her grandchildren's names.[26][27] She wore the coronation necklace and earrings made for Queen Victoria by Garrard & Co.[26] Beneath his robe of estate, Charles wore a crimson tunic, cream silk overshirt, and Royal Navy trousers.[28]

St Edward's Crown, which was used to crown the King, was removed from the Tower of London in December 2022 for resizing.[29][11] In February 2023, Queen Mary's Crown, which was used to crown Camilla, was also removed from display for modification work.[30] The crown had been reset with Cullinan III, IV and V and four of its detachable arches had been removed.[30] It was the first time a queen was crowned using another consort's crown since 1727, when Caroline of Ansbach used the Crown of Mary of Modena.[30] The Crown of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was not used; it was suggested that this was to avoid a potential diplomatic dispute with India, as the crown contains the Koh-i-Noor, a diamond claimed by the country.[31]

Art

The official photographer of the coronation was Hugo Burnand, who had previously been the official photographer for Charles and Camilla's wedding in 2005.[32] Eileen Hogan was selected to paint the coronation, and Peter Kuhfeld and Paul Benney were selected to paint the coronation portraits of Charles and Camilla respectively.[33]

 
The United Kingdom coronation emblem

Andrew Jamieson was commissioned to create the coronation invitation, which featured the couple's coats of arms, the floral emblems of the United Kingdom, and a Green Man amid other British wildflowers and wildlife.[34][35] The United Kingdom coronation emblem was designed by Sir Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom, and depicts the floral emblems of the nations of the United Kingdom in the shape of St Edward's Crown.[36][37] The emblem is available in the English and Welsh languages.[38]

The procession into the abbey was led by the Cross of Wales, a new processional cross commissioned by Charles to mark the centenary of the Church in Wales. It includes relics of the True Cross gifted to the King by Pope Francis.[39] The screen which concealed the King during his anointing was designed by iconographer Aidan Hart and embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. It includes 56 leaves in reference to the members of the Commonwealth of Nations.[40][41] One hundred chairs made for the congregation featuring the King and Queen's cyphers were due to be auctioned after the ceremony, and the proceeds donated to charity.[42]

A blue and yellow carpet covered the floors of the abbey for the coronation except for the 755-year old Cosmati pavement where the Coronation Chair was situated. Many viewers commented on the coincidence that the carpet used the same colours as the flag of Ukraine, with others interpreting this as the United Kingdom's show of solidarity for the war-torn nation; in fact the carpet colour scheme had been in use since 1937.[43]

Music

The music for the coronation was both traditional and new; twelve new pieces were commissioned for the service, and were used alongside works used at previous coronations.[44] There will be an official coronation album, containing music from the service.[45][46]

Six of the new commissions were performed by the orchestra before the service, including those by Judith Weir; Nigel Hess, Roderick Williams, and Shirley J. Thompson; Iain Farrington; a vocal piece by Sarah Class performed by Pretty Yende; and a new march by Patrick Doyle.[47] Music by Sir Karl Jenkins, Roxanna Panufnik and Tarik O'Regan was also part of the programme, as well as a two-part composition by Debbie Wiseman and a coronation anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on Psalm 98.[47] In tribute to the King's 64-year tenure as Prince of Wales the Kyrie was set in Welsh by Paul Mealor and was sung by Sir Bryn Terfel.[47] Greek Orthodox music was included in the service in tribute to the King's ancestry and his late father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[44]

The works of William Byrd, George Frideric Handel, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Henry Walford Davies, Sir William Walton, Sir Hubert Parry, and Ralph Vaughan Williams were included, as they had been at previous coronations.[48]

The director of music for the coronation was Andrew Nethsingha, the organist and master of the choristers at the abbey.[48] Before the service Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducted a programme of choral music consisting of the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists before the service.[44][48] The choir was a combination of the choirs of Westminster Abbey, the Chapel Royal, Methodist College Belfast, and Truro Cathedral.[48][47] The Ascension Choir, a gospel choir, also performed during the service.[48] The orchestra players were drawn from the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Regina Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Opera House Orchestra, and Welsh National Opera Orchestra, which are all patronised by Charles.[48][47] The orchestra was conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano and led by Vasko Vassilev.[47] The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force played the fanfares.[48]

All of the musicians in the various marching bands kept time with the help of a radio broadcast click track – the first time such technology has been used on such a large-scale ceremonial event. The tempo set was 108 beats per minute, slowed down from the regulation 116 beats per minute because of the size of the bands.[49]

Cost

The coronation was estimated to cost £250 million.[50]

Coronation service

The events of the coronation day included a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, the coronation service itself, a procession back to Buckingham Palace, and an appearance by the King and Queen, with other members of the Royal Family, on the palace balcony for a flypast by the Royal Air Force.[51]

The Anglican coronation service contained several distinct elements, which were structured around a Christian service of Holy Communion.[52] Charles and Camilla first proceded into the abbey, then Charles was presented to the people and recognised as monarch. After this Charles took an oath stating that he will uphold the law and maintain the Church of England. He then was anointed with holy oil, invested with the coronation regalia, and crowned with St Edward's Crown. After this he was enthroned and received the homage of the peerage and the people. Camilla then was anointed, crowned, and enthroned. The King and Queen ended the service by taking Holy Communion, and processed out of the abbey.[53]

Procession to the abbey

On the day of the coronation Charles and Camilla travelled to Westminster Abbey in procession.[54][55] They departed Buckingham Palace at 10:20 BST and went along The Mall, down Whitehall and along Parliament Street, and around the east and south sides of Parliament Square before reaching the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, a distance of 1.42 miles (2.29 km).[54][56] Charles and Camilla used the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, drawn by six Windsor Greys, and were accompanied by the Sovereign's Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.[54]

Procession into the abbey

 
Flag bearers and leaders from the Commonwealth realms prior to their procession into the abbey

The procession into the abbey was led by leaders and representatives from non-Christian religions, including the Baháʼí, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Shia and Sunni Muslim, Sikh, and Zoroastrian communities.[15][57] They were followed by Christian leaders from different Christian denominations, including the Church of England. After this the flags of the Commonwealth realms were carried by representatives, accompanied by their governors general and prime ministers. The choir followed.[15][57][56]

Charles and Camilla arrived shortly before 11:00 and formed their own procession. It was led by four peers,[b] who carried heraldic standards displaying the quarterings of the royal coat of arms and the arms of the Principality of Wales.[15][57] The Lord High Constable of England and the Earl Marshal also took part.[15] Charles and Camilla were each attended by four pages of honour, including Prince George of Wales and Camilla's grandsons.[c][58] Camilla was also accompanied by two ladies in attendance: her sister, Annabel Elliot, and the Marchioness of Lansdowne.[59] The choir sang Hubert Parry's "I was glad", during which the King's Scholars of Westminster School sang "Vivat Regina Camilla" and "Vivat Rex Carolus" ('Long live Queen Camilla' and 'Long live King Charles').[57][60]

After this the coronation regalia was processed to the altar, first Camilla's and then Charles's.[15][61] At Charles's request, the sixth-century St Augustine Gospels was also carried in the procession.[62]

Recognition

 
The Coronation Chair, which housed the Stone of Scone, was used by Charles during the ceremony

The service, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, began with the King and Queen having a silent moment of prayer before seating themselves on their chairs of estate, made for the 1953 coronation.[57][65][42] Paul Mealor's "Coronation Kyrie" was sung by Sir Bryn Terfel. After this the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lady Elish Angiolini, Christopher Finney, and Baroness Amos stood facing north, south, east, and west and in turn asked the congregation to recognise Charles with the words "I here present unto you King Charles, your undoubted King: wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service. Are you willing to do the same?" The crowd then replied "God save King Charles!" each time.[57][56] Charles was then presented with a new Bible by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.[57]

Oath

Before administering the oath, the Archbishop of Canterbury acknowledged the existence of multiple faiths and beliefs in the United Kingdom.[56] Charles then took the coronation oath, in which he swore to govern each of his countries according to their respective laws and customs, to administer law and justice with mercy, and to uphold Protestantism in the United Kingdom and protect the Church of England.[57] He proceeded to the altar and stated "The things which I have here before promised I will perform and keep. So help me God."[57]

The service of Holy Communion then continued. The Archbishop of Canterbury delivered the collect, and the epistle and gospel were read by the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, and the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, respectively.[57] This was followed by a sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury.[57]

Anointing

Charles removed his robe of state and was seated on the Coronation Chair.[66][67] He then was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury, using the ampulla and a medieval spoon, the latter the oldest part of the coronation regalia. The anointing emphasised the spiritual role of the sovereign. It was a private part of the service; as in 1953 it was not televised, and Charles was concealed by a screen. During this the choir sang the anthem Zadok the Priest.[68]

Investment and crowning

In the next part of the service, Charles was presented with several items from the coronation regalia. The spurs, Armills, Sword of State, and Sword of Offering were given to the King, who touched them with his hand, before they were removed again.[57] During this a Greek Orthodox chant was sung in memory of the King's father, Prince Philip, who was born a Prince of Greece.[57] The King was invested with the stole royal, robe royal, and the sovereign's orb, and was presented with the sovereign's ring, which he touched but did not wear. He was then invested with the the glove, the sovereign's sceptre with cross, and the sovereign's sceptre with dove.[57][61]

The King then was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, with the Archbishop and then the congregation chanting, "God save the King!".[57] At the moment of crowning the church bells of the abbey rang, 21-gun salutes were fired at 13 locations around the United Kingdom and on deployed Royal Navy ships, and 62-gun salutes and a six-gun salvo were fired from the Tower of London and Horse Guards Parade.[69]

Charles then received a Christian blessing read by the Anglican Archbishop of York, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Thyateira and Great Britain, the Moderator of the Free Churches, the Secretary General of the ecumenical Christian organization Churches Together in England, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury.[57]

Enthronement and homage

Charles moved to the throne (originally made for George VI in 1937) and the Archbishop of Canterbury and William, Prince of Wales, offered him their fealty.[42][57] The Archbishop of Canterbury then invited the people of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms to swear allegiance to the King, the first time this has occurred.[57][70]

Coronation of the Queen

The next part of the service concerned Camilla. She was anointed in public view, thought to be the first time this has occurred, and then presented with the Queen Consort's Ring.[57][71] The Queen then was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury using Queen Mary's Crown.[57] Camilla then was presented with the Queen Consort's Sceptre with Cross and the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove, before sitting on her own throne (originally made for Queen Elizabeth in 1937) beside the King.[57][61][42]

This was the first coronation of a consort since that of Queen Elizabeth in 1937.[7]

Holy Communion

The offertory followed, during which gifts of bread and wine were brought before the King and prayed over; the prayer was a translation from the Liber Regalis, which dates from c. 1382 and is one of the oldest sources for the English coronation service.[57] Charles and Camilla then received Holy Communion from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the congregation recited the Lord's Prayer, before a final blessing.[57]

End of the service

At the end of the service the King changed into the Imperial State Crown.[72] Charles and Camilla then proceded to the west door of the abbey as the national anthem, "God Save the King", was sung. At the end of the procession the King received a greeting by leaders and representatives from non-Christian faiths, including the Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, and Buddhist communities.[57]

State Procession to Buckingham Palace

The second procession followed the same route as the first, but in reverse and on a larger scale. The King and Queen were carried in the Gold State Coach, drawn by eight Windsor Grey horses, with other members of the royal family in other vehicles.[54]

The armed forces of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the British Overseas Territories played a significant part. Over 5,000 members of the British Armed Forces and 400 Armed Forces personnel from at least 35 other Commonwealth countries were part of the two processions, and 1,000 lined the route.[69] The Sovereign's Bodyguard, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Royal Watermen also took part in the procession, and the Royal British Legion formed a Guard of Honour of 100 Standard Bearers in Parliament Square.[54][73] The Princess Royal and the Commander of the Household Cavalry served as the Gold Stick-in-Waiting and Silver Stick-in-Waiting, respectively.[74]

At Buckingham Palace the King and Queen received a royal salute and three cheers from the armed forces, who were massed in the garden, then joined other members of the royal family on the balcony to review a flypast by helicopters and the Red Arrows aerobatic team. A six-minute flypast of 68 aircraft was planned, but prevented by rain and low cloud.[75][d]

A grandstand was built in front of Buckingham Palace from which to watch the procession and flypast, with 3,800 seats offered to Armed Forces veterans, NHS and social care workers, and representatives of charities with links to the King and Queen.[77] 354 uniformed cadet forces viewed the procession at Admiralty Arch.[77]

Guests

  Countries with representatives who attended

Approximately 2,200 guests had been invited to the coronation, from 203 countries.[78] Invitees included members of the royal family, representatives from the Church of England and other British faith communities, prominent politicians from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, and foreign heads of state and royalty.[79] Invitations were extended to 850 community and charity representatives, including 450 British Empire Medal recipients and 400 young people, half of whom were nominated by the British government.[80]

The number of political attendees had been reduced significantly from 1953, when virtually the entire Parliament of the United Kingdom attended.[81] Buckingham Palace considered inviting as few as 20 MPs and 20 peers, but protests from MPs and peers led to the number being more than doubled, with the Cabinet Office making final decisions on who was invited.[82][83] Cabinet members' spouses have not been invited, angering some ministers.[84]

The dress code for peers, except those performing specific roles, was originally business suits or parliamentary ermine robes, rather than the coronets, coronation robes, and court dress traditionally worn.[85][23] This was changed in the week before the coronation after protests from peers; they were thus allowed to wear coronation robes, but not coronets.[86] Women in attendance were required to wear a headcovering in keeping with traditional Christian customs enjoined for worship.[87]

United Kingdom events and responses

On 2 May, the King and Queen attended a celebratory pre-coronation reception at Westminster Hall.[89] They are due to host coronation garden parties at Buckingham Palace on 3 and 9 May and at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on 4 July.[90][91] Together with the Prince and Princess of Wales, he greeted crowds at The Mall during a walkabout.[92] In the evening, the King hosted a reception for foreign royalty and other overseas dignitaries at Buckingham Palace,[93] and family members and guests also attended a reception at Oswald's.[94] On 5 May, Charles met with the governors-general, presidents, prime ministers, and other leaders of the 56 Commonwealth states at Marlborough House. Leaders also discussed issues of mutual interest as well as the Commonwealth Year of Youth and initiatives to empower youth. The summit was followed by a reception hosted by King Charles at Buckingham Palace.[95]

Between 6–8 May people in Britain have been encouraged to hold "Coronation Big Lunch" street parties.[65] More than 3,000 parties are planned, with English councils having approved the closure of 3,087 roads. Most street parties had been scheduled for Sunday, 7 May.[96] Coronation quiche was chosen by Charles and Camilla as the official dish of the Coronation Big Lunch.[97] Pubs will also remain open until 1 am on the coronation weekend.[98]

The Coronation Concert was held on the same 7 May on Windsor Castle's East Lawn.[65][55] In addition to performances by singers, musicians, and stage and screen actors, the show will also feature a "Coronation Choir" composed of community choirs and amateur singers.[55][65][99] During the concert landmarks, areas of natural beauty, and street parties.[100] 5,000 pairs of free tickets have been distrubited by public ballot, and volunteers from the King and Queen's charities will also be invited.[65][101] Several musical performers reportedly turned down the palace's invitation to perform citing schedule conflicts.[102]

A public holiday was declared on 8 May to commemorate the coronation.[103] On the same day, the Together Coalition, in partnership with The Scout Association, the Royal Voluntary Service, and various faith groups, is organising the Big Help Out initiative to encourage volunteering and community service.[65][55] The Royal Voluntary Service, of which Camilla is president, will also launch the Coronation Champions Awards, which will recognise 500 volunteers nominated by the public.[104][105]

Ecclesiastical

Twenty-eight days prior to the Coronation of Charles III and Camilla, the Church of England established a period of prayer for the rising monarchs, and to this end, published a Book of Daily Prayers that included "daily themes, reflections and prayers for use by individuals, churches or groups".[106][107][108]

Congregations of the Church of England held special commemorative services throughout the country on 6–7 May 2023.[109]

Government and corporate

The government of the United Kingdom will also issue coronation medals to 400,000 individuals, including those involved in supporting the coronation, front line emergency and prison services workers, and members of the British Armed Forces. The medals are made of nickel silver and plated in nickel and feature an effigy of the King and Queen, on a red, white and blue ribbon.[110]

The Royal Mint released a new collection of coins, including 50p and £5 coin depicting the King wearing the Tudor Crown.[111] Royal Mail issued four stamps to mark the King's coronation, as it did for the coronations of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II. The company will also apply a special postmark from 28 April to 10 May.[112]

The Transport for London voice announcement was replaced by the voice announcements recorded by the King and Queen on 5 May, and will be used on railway station and all London Underground stations throughout the coronation weekend and bank holiday on Monday.[113] The London North Eastern Railway will also name its daily 11:00 passenger train from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley the Carolean Express, starting on 6 May.[114]

Natural England will mark the coronation with the creation of the King's Series of National Nature Reserves, which will see five major national nature reserves named every year for the next five years.[115][116]

The Royal Collection Trust has released official coronation memorabilia to mark the occasion.[117][118] In February 2023, Buckingham Palace announced it would temporarily relax the "rules governing the commercial use of royal photographs and official insignia" to allow other groups to produce coronation memorabilia.[119]

Companies that have produced coronation memorabilia include Emma Bridgewater, Jan Constantine, Merrythought, and Royal Crown Derby.[117][120] Greene King will produce a special brew to mark the coronation and auction several unopened crates of a special brew created for the cancelled coronation of Edward VIII in 1937, with proceeds from the auction going to the The Prince's Trust.[120]

Public opinion

In April 2023, YouGov conducted multiple surveys related to the coronation in the United Kingdom. A survey 13 April revealed that 46 per cent of British adults were likely to watch the coronation, and another survey conducted on the same day found that only 33 per cent of the respondents cared about the ceremony.[121] A survey on the 18 April found that 51 per cent of Britons believed that the coronation should not be financed by taxpayers.[122] Another poll of young British people found that 70 per cent were "not interested" in the royal family or the coronation.[123]

Protests

The British republican advocacy group Republic protested the coronation, with the group's chief executive, Graham Smith, calling the coronation an antiquated "celebration of hereditary power and privilege".[124] The organisation anticipated the protest would be "the first time a big royal event has been directly covered by a larger protest", with around 1,200 individuals having pledged to attend their upcoming protest at Trafalgar Square. The protest was planned to occur near the statue of Charles I, with smaller groups of one to three people spread throughout the procession route.[125] Republic encouraged participants to wear yellow during the protest.[125][126] According to BBC News, there were hundreds of protesters.[127]

Pro-Scottish independence and republican marches took place in both Edinburgh and Glasgow on the day of the coronation. Scottish advocacy groups participating in the marches included All Under One Banner in Glasgow, and the Radical Independence Campaign and Our Republic in Edinburgh. The latter group also promoted the Declaration of Calton Hill during its march.[128] The Welsh republican advocacy group Cymru Republic staged a protest on 6 May in Cardiff, with a march from the statue of Aneurin Bevan to Bute Park.[129] Around 300 protesters took part.[127]

In April 2023, British deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden was briefed by police and received intelligence reports that protestors might attempt to sabotage the coronation by using whistles to startle the horses walking in the procession.[130][131] Republic has announced that its demonstrations on 6 May would not be disruptive, although authorities fear other organisations or lone demonstrators may attempt to disrupt the event. To deter any potential disruptions during the event, security services from across Britain have deployed a large number of physical barriers, armed officers, and police drones in London.[132] Additional units of the UK Counter Terrorism Defence Mechanism were also placed on standby to support security services.[50] Extensive security planning had been ongoing for several years leading up to the coronation as part of Operation Golden Orb.[132]

On the day of the coronation, six republican protesters, including Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, were arrested by Metropolitan Police. According to Smith, the police did not state on what grounds the group had been arrested.[133] Around 13 Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested at The Mall, and five were arrested at Downing Street. According to a spokesman for the group, their plan was only to display T-shirts and flags. Human Rights Watch described the arrests as alarming and something "you would expect to see in Moscow not London".[134][135]

Removal of the Stone of Scone

The removal of the Stone of Scone was controversial in Scotland. In October 2022, an online petition calling for the stone to remain in Edinburgh Castle was signed by hundreds of individuals.[136] Alex Salmond, the leader of the Alba Party and former first minister of Scotland, suggested in March 2023 that the Scottish Government ought to prevent the stone from being taken to London.[137] Despite this objection, the stone was moved to London on 28 April 2023.[138]

Crown Dependencies

A public holiday was declared on 8 May in Guernsey, the Isle of Man, and Jersey.[139][140][141] As in the United Kingdom, Big Help Outs will also be organised in all three Crown Dependencies on the day of the holiday.[55][142][143]

The states of Guernsey has planned events to celebrate the coronation from 5 to 8 May. A vigil was held on 5 May at Forest Methodist Church to reflect on the coronation's spiritual element. On 6 May, bells will ring from Town Church, Vale, Forest, and St Pierre du Bois. A live broadcast of the coronation service was played on a large screen at the King George V Sports Ground (KGV), followed by a military parade from Fort George to the Model Yacht Pond. A 21-gun salute was fired at noon from Castle Cornet as part of the national salute. On 7 May a Coronation Big Lunch will be held at Saint Peter Port seafront, along with a service of thanksgiving at the Town Church. That evening the Coronation Concert was screened live at the KGV playing fields, and buildings including Castle Cornet and Fort Grey will be illuminated in red, white, and blue in the evening.[144]

In Jersey, on 6 May Coronation Park hosted a large-screen broadcast of the coronation, musical entertainment, and activities. Licensed establishments have been encouraged to open ahead of the ceremony's broadcast, and seventh category licensed establishments may apply for special extensions to stay open until 3 am on 7 May.

Preperations

 
The Canadian coronation emblem

A Canadian coronation emblem was created by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald of Arms, and registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority. It includes Charles III's royal cypher inside a ring of 13 triangular shapes, the shape alluding to a string of pennants and the number corresponding with that of Canada's provinces and territories. The circular arrangement symbolises inclusion, as well as the Indigenous concept of equity and the cycles of the natural world. The colour green is a reference to the King's commitment to the natural environment, while the white spaces may be viewed as a sunburst, symbolising innovation and new ideas.[170]

The Department of Canadian Heritage provided $257,000 to the Royal Canadian Geographical Society to produce educational material on the King's association with Indigenous peoples in Canada and his tours of the country.[171] These materials were made available for use in Canadian schools. During the coronation weekend, the society distributed a special edition of Canadian Geographic about the King at events in Ottawa.[172] Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada approved the use of a special call sign in Canada for amateur radio operators to use from 5 May to 2 June.[173]

A national initiative to illuminate landmarks in emerald green was planned across Canada for 6 and 7 May. Guided tours were also offered at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the monarch and governor general of Canada, and the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces performed there.[171][176] Several Royal Canadian Legion branches hosted receptions.[179][180]

Other Commonwealth member state events and responses

South Africa

The use of the Cullinan diamonds in the coronation was controversial in South Africa. Several of the nine stones cut from the original South African diamond are set into the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, most notably the Imperial State Crown and Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross. The ceremony prompted some South Africans to demand their return, following a petition on the same topic after the death of Queen Elizabeth II which attracted 8,000 signatures.[199][200]

Vanuatu

The Kastom people who worshipped Prince Philip on the Vanuatuan island of Tanna marked the coronation of his son. Events were organised in the villages of Yakel and Yaohnanen throughout 6 May, including a flag-raising ceremony of the Union Flag, and drinking and dancing. Around 5,000 to 6,000 people gathered to celebrate, with an additional 100 chiefs also attending.[201]

Coverage

The BBC suspended the television licence fee for the coronation weekend, so that venues could screen the coronation on 6 May, and the coronation concert the next day, without needing to buy a television licence.[202] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced that the event would be shown on big screens across 57 locations in Britain, including in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park.[77]

Media outlets in Britain, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand and the United States broadcasted the coronation live. Several broadcasters in those countries will provide coverage on the occasion throughout the coronation weekend.[203][204][205][206][207]
