Millions of people will be called upon to swear ‘true allegiance’ to King Charles at the coronation scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey.
The UK-based news platform added that for the first time in history, every citizen of the UK and all the other nations of which the monarch is head of state will be asked to “make their homage in heart and voice to their undoubted King”.
The trailblazing move will make the ceremony more of a ‘People’s Coronation’, as previously only members of the aristocracy were called upon to make such a pledge.
The “Homage of the People” is just one of the significant updates to the ancient ritual, which will see other religious faiths, as well as the Church of England, playing key roles. Female members of the clergy will also be involved for the first time.
The influence of the late Queen will be clear throughout the two-hour ceremony and there will be a tribute to the King’s late father, Prince Philip.
And when Queen Camilla is crowned after her husband it will be the first time a Consort has been anointed in full public view.

The break with centuries of tradition will be most marked with the Homage of the People, when the Archbishop of Canterbury will call on those in Westminster Abbey, and watching on television to pledge their allegiance.
