Queen Consort will be anointed with holy oil without being hidden by a canopy, making her the first ever monarch in history to be consecrated in public view. The news comes as further details of the coronation – including a schedule of the day’s events – have been revealed by the Palace.
- Queen Camilla will be consecrated with holy oil without being hidden by a canopy, in contrast to the last Queen Consort’s coronation, which was Elizabeth Lyons (the Queen Mother)
- King Charles, like his mother before him, will be anointed behind a canopy
- In other royal news, Prince William's next project could be a surprising break from tradition: 'This is pretty extraordinary - it’s never been done before'
