William had previously placed the official sash around his father’s shoulders, before the King’s attendants placed the Robe of Righteousness around the sovereign.
The ceremony took place on Saturday in Westminster Abbey and, as previously announced, Charles had requested a stripped-down service in comparison with the previous Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Nevertheless, the service was full of ancient reference – all filmed and broadcast around the world save the moment of anointment, which was shielded from the cameras, as the most sacred part of the service.
