King Charles will be making yet another historic first in his upcoming Coronation ceremony, as he becomes the first monarch to pray aloud during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey
Ahead of next week's historic Coronation ceremony, it has officially been announced that King Charles III will become the first monarch to pray aloud in front of a coronation congregation in a “powerful” new addition to the service.
The words chosen will reflect the “loving service” theme of the liturgy and were inspired in part by the popular patriotic hymn I Vow To Thee My Country, which was written back in 1921. A spokesperson for Lambeth Palace said: “This will be another powerful moment. For the first time, the monarch will pray aloud in front of the coronation congregation, which in this case includes the many millions watching in the United Kingdom and around the world.”
In his role as the country's monarch, Charles also now earns the title of Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
