Camilla to break with tradition with public anointing during coronation service
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.
