YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKing Charles III was crowned on Saturday (May 6) in Britain's biggest ceremonial event for seven decades, a sumptuous display of pageantry dating back 1,000 years.
In front of a congregation of about 100 world leaders and a television audience of millions, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, slowly placed the 360-year-old St Edward's Crown on Charles' head as he sat upon a 14th-century throne in Westminster Abbey. Welby and the congregation then cried out "God save the King".
Charles looked serious as he swore oaths to govern justly and uphold the Church of England - of which he is the titular head - before the most sacred part of the ceremony when he was anointed on his hands, head and breast by the Archbishop with holy oil consecrated in Jerusalem.
During proceedings, the king's eldest son, Prince William, swore an oath to his father before placing a kiss on his cheek.
Charles' second wife Camilla, 75, was also crowned queen during the two-hour ceremony, which while rooted in history, is also an attempt to present a forward-looking monarchy, with those involved in the service reflecting a more diverse Britain and leaders from all faiths.
