    I think one small correction could be made: Charles will not receive the 'sword of mercy' (or Curtana). It is one of five swords carried in procession and among a group of three: including the swords of temporal and spiritual justice. The sword that will be presented to Charles is the jeweled sword of offering. A fifth sword- the sword of state- is typically carried before the monarch on other state occasions. (I guess you can never have too many swords lol.)

    “Queen Mother” isn’t an official title, it was more of an informal way of distinguishing Queen Elizabeth II’s mother, who was also Queen Elizabeth, and could also be referred to as “HM The Queen” from her daughter who was obviously the Queen Regnant. And it was actually more of an affectionate, nicknamey way of referring to her.

    Thanks to the UK's musical cabinet this video is unfortunately out of date as soon as it's out, as the Lord High Chancellor is in fact now Alex Chalk, as Dominic Raab quit his cabinet roles exactly a week ago after an enquiry found him guilty of things that could be considered to be bullying.
    Also a British peerage rank isn't placed in front of person's ordinary name in the way that Prince/Princess would be, so it isn't 'Viscount Andrew Browne Cunningham' it's either 'Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope' if being formal, or else 'Andrew Cunningham ' if being informal (with Browne merely being his middle name).

    If I may be so bold as to correct you:
    1. The verb is ‘to crown’, not ‘to coronate’.
    2. The correct spelling is ‘Earl Marshal’, single ‘l’. This may be me simply being pernickety about British vs American English.
    3. The acclamation by the people at the recognition is ‘God save King/Queen N.’, not ‘Long live the King’.
    I speculate that Queen Camilla may take the title of ‘Queen Dowager’ instead of ‘Queen Mother’ if she outlives the King.

    The monarch is actually the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The Oath of Supremacy gave the monarch's title as supreme governor rather than supreme head of the church. This wording avoided the charge that the monarchy was claiming divinity or usurping Christ, whom the Bible explicitly identifies as head of the Church.

    Great video. Small thing to mention. The Lord Privy Seal and Lord Great Chamberlain, Nicholas True and Rupert Carington respectively, are not known as "Lord [Their Name], this is the style given to younger sons of Dukes and Marquesses. The same is true of any peer. The best practice for giving their full name is to [Full Name] [Peerage]. For example, 'Rupert Carrington, 7th Baron Carrington' or 'Nicholas True, Baron True' and then thereafter obviously can be referred to as '[The] Lord Carrington' or '[The] Lord True'.

      @@ferdyholim5687 The two you mentioned were in the time when the empire existed, and we on the other side of the world were colonials. The attitude of the English to these colonials was one of superiority generally. British officers were put into Anzac regiments at Gallipoli. It was not until 1968 that appeals from the Australian High Court to the English Privy Council were stopped. English judges were superior to Australian ones? I could go on and on about English attitudes to Australians living in Earls Court etc. I saw all this in my own family, which emigrated to Australia from England in 1924. So you see this is why now we want the respect of being actually mentioned at the coronation, not being passed over once again. Of course it could be that Charles is not capable of actually remembering such a large number as 15. Maybe he would have had to take his shoes off to count past 10.

      @@Desert-Father Although the Levites have a special place in Judaism, and perform special functions in the religion (as assistants to the priests, and teachers), it is only one branch of the tribe of Levi, known as ‘Kohenim’, descended from Aharon, the brother of Moses, who are designated as ‘priests’. Samuel was Levi, but not Kohen. Zadok was Kohen.
      The importance placed in the coronation of the King of England on having a priest (the Archbishop of Canterbury, as leader of the Church of England,) - in the role of Zadok - perform the ceremony is due to the dual role of the king (since the reign of Henry VIII) as Head of State and Supreme Governor or the Church of England. If the Church were to be disestablished, it might make more sense to have the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of England, as the head of the judicial branch of government, (in a role more like that of Samuel), perform the coronation ceremony. The doctrine of ‘responsible government’, which underpins the Westminster system, would make it inappropriate for the head of the legislative branch of government, the Prime Minister, to perform the task.

    I've read that apparently Charles has suggested to revive the old ritual of the coronation banquet in order to include more people of other faiths (like the papal legate, who, I think, can't enter the church because as a catholic priest he is not allowed to take part in an anglican mass). Do you know anything about that?

    • @red.aries1444
      @red.aries1444 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the revival of a big coronation banquet has nothing to do with people of other faith. There isn't any problem for people of other faith to attend an anglican mass as a guest. The papal legat is only a guest, he has no role in the coronation ceromony itself. Most of the international guests travel from far away. It would be a bit strange to invite them all only for the ceromony in the church and directly send them home after this.
      In earlier times it was much more important for the monarch to keep his noble peers on friendly terms, but over the centuries the British nobility growed more and more, so it got to expensive to invite them all to a big banquet.

    I hope that you don't mind one correction. If William predeceased Charles and George became king, Catherine might become the regent if he was underage, but she would not become Queen Regent. She would probably be known as "Princess Dowager of Wales" or "Princess Regent". Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent, assumed that when her daughter became Queen that she would automatically become the Queen Mother, but she was very quickly disabused of that notion. Before that, George III succeeded his grandfather, George II, because his father, Frederick, Prince of Wales, had died several years earlier, but his mother, Augusta, Princess of Wales, also did not become the Queen Mother, but was apparently known as the Princess Dowager of Wales. Aside from that small detail, I enjoyed this very much (as I do most of your videos).
