The Queen Consort Camilla will be anointed in full public view at the coronation in a break with tradition, and will be presented with a ring which “marries” her as consort to the King.
Camilla will be consecrated with holy oil without being hidden under a canopy, in contrast to the late Queen Mother’s coronation.The King, as is custom, will be shielded during his sacred anointing, and is using a new 2.6-metre high, three-sided, embroidered screen to ensure the privacy of the moment.
As details were revealed of the coronation liturgy, Lambeth Palace described how the Queen Consort’s Ring, an octagonal mixed-cut ruby surrounded by 14 diamonds, bears the symbolism of a ring exchanged in marriage.
A spokesman for the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury said: “It signifies covenant and agreement, an unbroken bond, without end. “It ‘marries’ Consort to King, and them both to God in duty and to the people in loving service, and in turn acts as an assurance of God’s unfailing love.” Lambeth Palace said the uncovered anointing symbolises Camilla’s role as a consort rather than a reigning monarch.
