King Charles’s coronation next Saturday will also include an invitation to the public to pledge allegiance to the monarch and his successors, the office of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said, releasing the exact coronation ritual.

Inviting citizens to pay their respects by joining the “choir of millions of voices” is one of the elements to be added from the old ceremony. “All who desire it in the abbey and elsewhere say together: I swear true allegiance to your excellency and your successors in law. God is my witness.”

Among the elements that will be included for the first time in the coronation ceremony will be a prayer and a hymn in Welsh and other dialects of Scotland and Ireland. Women bishops will also be able to attend the ceremony, the announcement said.

Charles, who became monarch of the United Kingdom and the remaining 14 Commonwealth countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda) . , Belize and St. Kitts) after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in September last year, will be officially crowned on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London in a ceremony full of luxury, symbolism and religious significance.

According to details released yesterday by Buckingham Palace, Charles will be wearing the same crimson and purple silk velvet outfit that his grandfather, King George VI, wore to his own coronation in 1937.
