If Carlos III was already proclaimed king, why does he need a coronation?

A coronation is as much the symbolic religious ceremony during which a sovereign is crowned, such as the physical act of placing a crown on the head of a monarch. Formalizes the role of the monarch as head of the church of england and marks the transfer of his title and powers.

However, it is not actually necessary for the monarch to be crowned to become King. Edward VIII reigned without a coronation, and Charles automatically became king the moment Queen Elizabeth II died.

The coronations have remained practically the same for more than 1,000 years. The British ceremony is the only remaining event of its kind in Europe. However, Buckingham Palace has said that although the coronation will be “rooted in longstanding traditions”, it will also “reflect the role of the monarch today and will look to the future.

What will the coronation of Carlos III be like?

It is likely that the coronation of Carlos III will be shorter and smaller in scale that the coronation of the Queen Elizabeth II in 1953with a broader range of religions represented.

It is also expected that the coronation procession be more modest. Queen Elizabeth’s procession featured 16,000 participants and it took 45 minutes in passing any stationary point on the 7 km route.

This time, The King and Queen Consort will travel to Westminster Abbey in the King’s Procession and they will return to Buckingham Palace in a larger coronation procession, where they will be joined by other members of the Royal Family. The palace has not yet said who will appear on the palace balcony.

There are several stages in the coronation service:

• Recognition: Standing by the Coronation Chair, the Archbishop of Canterbury introduces the monarch to those gathered in the Abbey. The congregation shouts “God save the King!”, and the trumpets sound The oath: the sovereign swears to uphold the law and the Church of England.
• The anointing: The King’s ceremonial robes are removed and he sits on the Coronation Chair. A golden cloth is held over the chair to hide the King from view. The Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the king’s hands, chest and head with sacred oil made to a secret recipe but known to contain ambergris, orange blossoms, roses, jasmine and cinnamon.
• The investiture: the sovereign is presented with items including the Royal Orb, which represents religious and moral authority; the Scepter, which represents power; and the Scepter of the Sovereign, a golden rod topped with a white enameled dove, a symbol of justice and mercy. Finally, the Archbishop places the Crown of Saint Edward on the head of the King.
• Enthronement and homage: The King leaves the Coronation Chair and moves to the throne. The companions kneel before the monarch to pay homage. The queen consort will then be anointed in the same way and crowned.
