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 taking an oath, being anointed with holy oil, and receiving the coronation regalia, emphasising his spiritual role and secular responsibilities.[a] 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 rear and front balconies. The service was altered from past coronations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom, and was shorter than Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953.

The coronation elicited both celebrations and protests in the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. Celebrations in the UK included street parties, volunteering, special commemorative church services, and a concert at Windsor Castle on 7 May. Surveys carried out in April 2023 suggested that the British public was ambivalent toward the event and its funding; the events in London and Windsor drew large crowds, but were also protested against by republican groups. Dozens of these protestors were arrested, drawing criticism from human rights groups. Commonwealth realms including Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand held celebrations, but other realms used the event to highlight issues such as the effects of British colonialism.

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

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's coronation, codenamed "Operation Golden Orb", were held at least once a year, attended by representatives of the government, the Church of England, and Charles's staff.[5][6][7]

Service and procession

The organisation of the coronation was the responsibility of the earl marshal, Edward Fitzalan-Howard.[8] A committee of privy counsellors arranged the event.[9][7] On 11 October 2022, the date of the coronation was announced as 6 May 2023, a choice made to ensure sufficient time to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II before holding the ceremony.[10][7]

Invitation to the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

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.[11] The posts of lord high steward and lord high constable of England, which are now only named for coronations, were given to General Sir Gordon Messenger and Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, respectively.[12]

The holy anointing oil used in the service was consecrated at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on 6 March 2023 by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem, under the supervision of Hosam Naoum, the Anglican archbishop of 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.[13][14][15]

Military dress rehearsals took place on 17, 18, and 19 April.[16][17] 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.[18]

Westminster Abbey was closed to tourists and worshippers from 25 April for preparations, and would not re-open until 8 May.[19] As at previous coronations, many attendees had an obscured view, as the abbey's nave was filled to capacity.[20]

Guests

  Countries which sent representatives

The coronation was a state event funded by the British government, which also decided the guest list.[21] Approximately 2,200 guests from 203 countries were invited.[22] They included members of the British 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.[23] The number of British political attendees was reduced significantly from 1953, when virtually the entire Parliament of the United Kingdom attended.[24] 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.[25] Safety regulations at Westminster Abbey restricted the number of guests, as in contrast to earlier coronations no temporary stands were erected in the building.[26]

Vestments and crowns

In a break with tradition, Charles's coronation vestments (ceremonial clothes) were largely reused from previous coronations instead of being newly made.[27][28] 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.[28] She also wore a new coronation gown, created by Bruce Oldfield and embroidered with wildflowers, the United Kingdom's floral emblems, her cypher, a pair of dogs, and her grandchildren's names.[29][30]

St Edward's Crown, which was used to crown the King, was removed from the Tower of London in December 2022 for resizing.[31][21] In February 2023 Queen Mary's Crown, which was used to crown Camilla, was also removed from display to be reset with Cullinan III, IV and V and for four of its eight detachable arches to be removed.[32] The Crown of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was not used, to avoid a potential diplomatic dispute with India; the crown contains the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is claimed by the country.[33]

The dress code for peers without a role in the ceremony was originally business suits or parliamentary robes, rather than the coronets, coronation robes, and court dress traditionally worn.[34][20] This was changed in the week before the coronation after protests, with peers allowed to wear coronation robes but not coronets.[35] The general dress code for men was morning dress, a lounge suit or national dress.[36]

Art

The United Kingdom coronation emblem

The official photographer of the coronation was Hugo Burnand, who had previously been the official photographer for Charles and Camilla's wedding in 2005.[37] Eileen Hogan was selected to paint the coronation ceremony, and Peter Kuhfeld and Paul Benney to paint the coronation portraits of Charles and Camilla respectively.[38]

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.[39][40] The coronation emblem was designed by Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom, and depicts the floral emblems of the United Kingdom in the shape of St Edward's Crown.[41][42] There are versions of the emblem in both English and Welsh.[43]

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.[44] 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 embroidered with the names of the members of the Commonwealth of Nations.[45][46]

The Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, Simon Armitage, released a new poem, An Unexpected Guest, to mark the coronation. The poem follows a woman invited to attend the coronation in Westminster Abbey, and quotes Samuel Pepys' experience at the coronation of Charles II in 1661.[47][48][49]

Music

Twelve new pieces were commissioned for the service and used alongside older works, including several used at previous coronations.[50]

Six of the new commissions were performed by the orchestra before the service — those by Judith Weir; Karl Jenkins; a vocal piece by Sarah Class performed by Pretty Yende; Nigel Hess, Roderick Williams, and Shirley J. Thompson; Iain Farrington; and a new march by Patrick Doyle.[51] New compositions by Roxanna Panufnik, Tarik O'Regan, and Andrew Lloyd Webber were part of the service, and Debbie Wiseman composed two related pieces, one of which was performed by the Ascension Choir.[51][52] Existing works by William Byrd, George Frideric Handel, Edward Elgar, Walford Davies, William Walton, Hubert Parry, and Ralph Vaughan Williams were included, as they had been at previous coronations.[52] Six pieces were performed in new arrangements by John Rutter.[53]

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 Bryn Terfel.[51] Greek Orthodox music was included in the service in tribute to the King's ancestry and his late father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[50]

The director of music for the coronation was Andrew Nethsingha, the organist and master of the choristers at the abbey.[52] Before the service John Eliot Gardiner conducted the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists.[50][52] The main choir was a combination of the choirs of Westminster Abbey, the Chapel Royal, the Monteverdi Choir, and girl choristers from Methodist College Belfast and Truro Cathedral.[52][51][54] 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.[52][51] The orchestra was conducted by Antonio Pappano and led by Vasko Vasilev.[51] The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force played the fanfares.[52]

In the Coronation Procession, all of the eight massed bands played the same music, keeping time with each other with the help of a radio broadcast click track – the first time such technology has been used on such a large-scale ceremonial event; previously bands would march to different pieces of music starting at different times. The tempo set was 108 beats per minute, slowed down from the regulation 116 beats per minute because of the size of the bands.[55]

Cost

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) stated that it was "unable to give costs, or a breakdown of funding" until after the coronation, but unofficial estimates of £50 to £100 million have been reported,[56] while other reports suggest a figure of up to £250 million.[57]

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.[58]

The coronation was conducted by the Church of England and contained several distinct elements, which were structured around a service of Holy Communion.[59] Charles and Camilla first proceeded 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 homage from Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, and William, the prince of Wales, and the people were invited to swear allegiance. Camilla then was anointed, crowned, and enthroned. The King and Queen ended the service by taking Holy Communion, and processed out of the abbey.[60]

Procession to the abbey

On the day of the coronation Charles and Camilla travelled to Westminster Abbey in procession.[61][62] 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).[61][63] 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.[61]

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.[12][64] 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.[12][64][63]

Charles and Camilla arrived shortly before 11:00 and formed their own procession. It was led by four peers,[c] who carried heraldic standards displaying the quarterings of the royal coat of arms and the arms of the Principality of Wales,[12][64] while the king's champion, Francis Dymoke, carried the royal standard.[12] The Lord High Constable of England and the Earl Marshal also took part.[12] Charles and Camilla were each attended by four pages of honour, including Prince George of Wales and Camilla's grandsons.[d][65] Camilla was also accompanied by two ladies in attendance: Annabel Elliot, her sister, and Fiona Petty-Fitzmaurice, the marchioness of Lansdowne.[66] 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').[64][67]

After this the coronation regalia was processed to the altar, first Camilla's and then Charles's.[12][68] At Charles's request, the sixth-century St Augustine Gospels was also carried in the procession.[69]

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.[64][72][73] Paul Mealor's "Coronation Kyrie" was sung in Welsh by Sir Bryn Terfel. After this the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lady Elish Angiolini (representing the Order of the Thistle), Christopher Finney (representing the holders of the Victoria Cross and George Cross), and Baroness Amos (representing the Order of the Garter) stood facing east, south, west, and north and in turn asked the congregation to recognise Charles as king; the crowd replied "God save King Charles!" each time.[64][63] It was a break from precedence, previously, in 1953, the segment was made up of the high officers of the state alongside the Archbishop, by now the officers were now replaced by holders of the highest medals and orders of the nation. Charles was then presented with a new Bible by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.[64]

Oath and accession declaration

Before administering the oath, the Archbishop of Canterbury acknowledged the existence of multiple faiths and beliefs in the United Kingdom.[63] 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. Subsequently, he made the statutory accession declaration.[64] Charles then signed a written form of the oath, before kneeling before the altar and saying a prayer.[64]

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.[64] This was followed by a sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury.[64]

Anointing

Charles removed his robe of state and was seated on the Coronation Chair.[74][75] 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.[76]

Investment and crowning

St Edward's Crown, the Orb, the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross, the Sovereign's Sceptre with Dove, and the Sovereign's Ring

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.[64] During this, Psalm 71 was chanted in Greek by an Orthodox choir in tribute of the King's father, Prince Philip, who was born a prince of Greece.[64] The Greek Orthodox choir was requested personally by the King.[77] The King was invested with the stole royal, robe royal, and the sovereign's orb, and presented with the sovereign's ring, which he touched but did not wear. He was then invested with the glove, the sovereign's sceptre with cross, and the sovereign's sceptre with dove.[64][68]

Army gun salute at Stirling Castle the moment Charles is crowned

The King then was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, with the Archbishop and then the congregation chanting, "God save the King!".[64] 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.[78]

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 organisation Churches Together in England, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury.[64]

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.[73][64] 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.[64][79]

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.[64][80] The Queen then was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury using Queen Mary's Crown.[64] Camilla then was presented with the Queen Consort's Sceptre with Cross and the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove (which, unlike other Queen Consorts, she chose not to carry), before sitting on her own throne (originally made for Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1937) beside the King.[64][68][73]

This was the first coronation of a consort since that of Charles's grandmother 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.[64] Charles and Camilla then received Holy Communion from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the congregation recited the Lord's Prayer, before a final blessing.[64]

End of the service

At the end of the service the King changed into the Imperial State Crown.[81] Charles and Camilla then proceeded 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 (Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist),[64] during which the Imperial State Crown was temporarily removed from the King's head and held by the Crown Jeweller.

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.[61]

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.[78] 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.[61][82] The Princess Royal and the Commander of the Household Cavalry served as the Gold Stick-in-Waiting and Silver Stick-in-Waiting, respectively.[83]

The King and Queen and other members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

At Buckingham Palace, the King and Queen stood on the rear balcony and 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 front 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.[84][e]

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.[86] In addition, 354 uniformed cadet forces viewed the procession at Admiralty Arch.[86]

United Kingdom events and responses

On 2 May, the King and Queen attended a celebratory pre-coronation reception at Westminster Hall.[88] 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.[89][90] On 5 May, Charles hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for the governors-general, presidents, prime ministers, and other leaders of the 56 Commonwealth states. Together with the Prince and Princess of Wales, he greeted crowds at The Mall during a walkabout.[91] Charles then met Commonwealth leaders at Marlborough House where they discussed issues of mutual interest as well as the Commonwealth Year of Youth and initiatives to empower youth.[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]

Between 6–8 May people in Britain held "Coronation Big Lunch" street parties.[72] More than 3,000 parties were planned, with English councils having approved the closure of 3,087 roads. Most street parties were scheduled for Sunday, 7 May.[95] Coronation quiche was chosen by Charles and Camilla as the official dish of the Coronation Big Lunch.[96] Pubs also remained open until 01:00 on the coronation weekend.[97]

The Coronation Concert was planned for 7 May on Windsor Castle's East Lawn.[72][62] In addition to performances by singers, musicians, and stage and screen actors, the show also featured a "Coronation Choir" composed of community choirs and amateur singers.[62][72][98] During the concert, landmarks, areas of natural beauty, and street parties were featured.[99] 5,000 pairs of free tickets were distributed by public ballot, and volunteers from the King and Queen's charities were also invited.[72][100] Several musical performers reportedly turned down the palace's invitation to perform citing scheduling conflicts.[101]

Staff from the British Embassy in Washington D.C. volunteer at the Capital Area Food Bank on 8 May as a part of the Big Help Out initiative

A public holiday was declared on 8 May to commemorate the coronation.[102] On the same day, the Together Coalition, in partnership with The Scout Association, the Royal Voluntary Service, and various faith groups, organised the Big Help Out initiative to encourage volunteering and community service.[72][62] The Royal Voluntary Service, of which Camilla is president, also launched the Coronation Champions Awards, which recognised 500 volunteers nominated by the public.[103][104]

Institutional initiatives

Ecclesiastical

Twenty-eight days prior to the Coronation of Charles III and Camilla, the Church of England established a period of prayer for them, and to this end, published a Book of Daily Prayers that included "daily themes, reflections and prayers for use by individuals, churches or groups".[105][106][107]

Congregations of the Church of England held special commemorative services throughout the country on 6–7 May 2023.[108]

Government

The government of the United Kingdom issued 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.[109]

The Transport for London voice announcement was replaced by the voice announcements recorded by the King and Queen on 5 May, and were used on railway station and all London Underground stations throughout the coronation weekend and bank holiday on Monday.[110] The London North Eastern Railway also named its daily 11:00 passenger train from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley the Carolean Express, starting on 6 May.[111]

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.[112][113]

Memorabilia

The Royal Mint released a new collection of coins, including 50p and £5 coin depicting the King wearing the Tudor Crown.[114] 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.[115]

The Royal Collection Trust released official coronation memorabilia to mark the occasion.[116][117] 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.[118]

Companies that have produced coronation memorabilia include Emma Bridgewater, Jan Constantine, Merrythought, and Royal Crown Derby.[116][119] Greene King produced a special brew to mark the coronation and auctioned 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.[119]

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.[120] A survey on 18 April found that 51 per cent of Britons believed that the coronation should not be financed by taxpayers.[121] Another poll of young British people found that 70 per cent were "not interested" in the royal family or the coronation.[122]

Protests

The British republican group Republic protested the coronation in London; its chief executive, Graham Smith, called the ceremony a "celebration of hereditary power and privilege".[123] The organisation anticipated an attendance of around 1,500-2,000 in Trafalgar Square, the focus of the London protests, with smaller groups of one to three people spread throughout the procession route.[124][125] According to BBC News, there were hundreds of protesters.[126] Republic encouraged protestors to wear yellow during the protest.[125][127]

To control disruptive protests, as well as terror threats and general crime, the police and security services from across the UK deployed a large number of physical barriers, armed officers, and police drones in London.[128] Over 11,500 police officers were on duty on the day of the coronation, and units of the UK Counter Terrorism Defence Mechanism were also placed on standby.[57] Extensive security planning had been ongoing for several years leading up to the coronation as part of Operation Golden Orb.[128]

Arrests

The Metropolitan Police stated that 64 people were arrested on the day of the coronation for "affray, public order offences, breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance".[129] Several groups have claimed that their members were among those arrested, including Republic, whose chief executive Graham Smith was arrested, Animal Rising, and Just Stop Oil. Republic had been in consultation with police for months prior to the event, and up until the Friday before had been assured by police that there would be no issues with their protest.[130] Human Rights Watch described the arrests as alarming and something "you would expect to see in Moscow not London".[131][132][133]

The Metropolitan Police claimed that some arrests were due to plans by protestors to "throw rape alarms" in an attempt to startle horses in the parade, potentially injuring riders and spectators, something which they had briefed Oliver Dowden, the deputy prime minister, about in April 2023.[134][135][136][137] Members of the women's safety campaign group Night Stars were arrested for distributing rape alarms to women in Westminster, prompting criticism from Green Party politician Caroline Russell.[138]

On 8 May the Metropolitan police apologised to six of the arrested protesters, including Graham Smith, after a review found that there was no proof the six protesters were going to engage in unlawful behaviour. The Metropolitan Police expressed "regret" over the arrest of Smith and the five other protestors.[139] Smith indicated that he would not be accepting the apology, and that he would be considering legal action.[140]

Scotland and Wales

Pro-Scottish independence and republican marches took place in both Edinburgh and Glasgow on the day of the coronation. The group All Under One Banner marched in Glasgow, and the Radical Independence Campaign and Our Republic in Edinburgh.

The Australian Monarchist League hosted several low-key events and screenings of the coronation on 5 and 6 May, including in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney; but, opted to not to organise street parties over concerns that they might be disrupted by republican protesters.[171][172]

In the lead-up to the coronation, the Australian Government was criticised by monarchists for not declaring a public holiday, or organising official government events to mark the coronation.[171][172][173] Conversely, republicans in Australia criticised Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for attending the coronation,[174] and faced pressure from republicans to not partake in the oath of allegiance.[175][176] Lidia Thorpe, an Aboriginal senator, stated that the coronation should be used as an opportunity to apologise to First Nations peoples and compensate them for colonialism.[174]

Canada

Preparations

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.[177]

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.[178] 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.[179] 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.[180]

New Zealand

The Sky Tower in Auckland illuminated in purple on 6 May 2023 to mark the coronation

To celebrate the coronation of Charles III as king of New Zealand, a national event featuring performances was held at the Auckland Domain on 7 May. The New Zealand Defence Force performed a gun salute at Devonport and Point Jerningham in Wellington on the same day.[202][203]

Trees That Count and the Department of Conservation initiated a tree planting campaign, with the New Zealand Government providing one million dollars to support the planting of 100,000 trees by local councils during the coronation weekend.[202] The campaign was launched on the grounds of Parliament House, Wellington on 26 April, during a tree planting ceremony with various parliamentarians, including Prime Minister Chris Hipkins and Opposition Leader Christopher Luxon.[204]

The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul held a coronation festival from 5 to 7 May.[203]

Republican sentiments

Marlene Malahoo Forte, the minister of legal and constitutional affairs of Jamaica used the coronation to emphasise the Jamaican government's intention to transition to being a republic as early as 2024, and that the government was in the midst of rewriting its constitution to offer up for a referendum.[207][208] The prime ministers of Belize and St Kitts and Nevis also used the occasion as a platform to demand an apology from the UK for the slave trade. A constitutional consultation process, which includes republican reforms was already underway in Belize, while the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis promised to begin a consultation process on becoming a republic as it was "not totally free" under Charles.[209][207]

The prime ministers of Belize and St Vincent and the Grenadines also expressed that their respective countries would likely transition to a republic, and they would like to see it.[207][210] The Prime Minister of Belize characterised the Belizean's response to the coronation as having "no excitement", while the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines characterised the notion of Charles begin king of his country as "absurd".[207][210]

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.[211][212]

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.[213]

Coverage and ratings

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.[214] 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.[86]
