Now that the King is crowned, Queen Camilla is receiving her own coronation — albeit in a slightly different form.
Like her husband, she is anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury, but without a screen, which demonstrates the different nature of anointing a consort compared to a reigning sovereign.
The Keeper of the Jewel House then presents the Consort’s Ring, which symbolizes promise and commitment, “marrying” her to the King and both to God and their people.
Next, she is crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, marking the first time in recent history that a new crown wasn't made specifically for this occasion, and presented with the Sceptre and Rod.
Finally, Camilla is enthroned. This is followed by an original composition by Andrew Lloyd Webber that sets verses from Psalm 98 to music.
