Australians watching the coronation – and millions of other Commonwealth citizens – will be asked to cry out and swear allegiance to the King next week, with the public given an active role in the ancient ceremony for the first time in history.
King Charles III’s coronation service – the first for a British monarch in 70 years – has been modernised to include the first-ever Homage of the People and will also include faith leaders from Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and Buddhist communities to better represent the make-up of modern Commonwealth countries.
For the first time, it will include all four languages spoken in the four home nations. A prayer will be delivered in Welsh and a hymn, Veni Creator, will be sung in English, Welsh, Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic.
