The King requests some audience participation
On Saturday night our time, King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned in an elaborate/ancient ceremony at Westminster Abbey, formalising things following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September last year. And over the weekend, more details have come to light, including an opportunity for us commoners to take part by swearing allegiance to him and his heirs. It’s a first for a coronation service… Everyone in attendance and those watching on elsewhere will be invited to deliver what they’re calling a “chorus of millions”. The order of service will read: “All who so desire, in the Abbey, and elsewhere, say together: I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.” So get practicing… There will be a lot around on the coronation in the lead-up to Saturday, and we’ll have you covered with this week’s Squiz Shortcut which is out on Thursday. You’re welcome…
