The King will honour Britain’s relationship with the Commonwealth during the most sacred moment of his Coronation when he is anointed with holy oil behind fabric screens, it can be revealed.
Charles has for months worked on a secret project with skilled embroiderers who have stitched the names of all 56 commonwealth countries into the partitions that will shield him from public view, when he is blessed with holy oil.
Royal sources said the delicate lace embroidery, created by the Royal School of Needlework, are His Majesty’s way of demonstrating his respect and his late mother’s love for the union of nations.
