The country is likely to get a bank holiday for the coronation of King Charles III, as it did for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. King Charles, seated in the Coronation Chair – known as Edward’s Chair and named after St Edward the Confessor – will hold the sovereign’s sceptre and rod, to represent control of the nation, and the sovereign’s orb, to represent the Christian world. Will King Charles III’s coronation be a bank holiday? Charles will be asked if he will govern the United Kingdom and other nations of the Commonwealth, if he will do so with law and justice, and if he will maintain Christianity in the nation. The coronation of Charles, 73, will be full of pomp and ceremony during a high Anglican service at the abbey. The Archbishop will first confirm Charles’ acceptance of becoming King by reading the coronation oath. The ceremony will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. Like all coronations of UK monarchs for the past 1,000 years, the coronation will be held at Westminster Abbey. It is traditional for there to be a wait between a new monarch’s ascension to the throne and their coronation.
