King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned Saturday, following the tradition of pledging his oath within the halls of Westminster Abbey. The resplendent and grandiose coronation, a spectacle not seen in seven decades, harkened back to a millennium-old custom. In attendance were His King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah, alongside a distinguished assemblage of Arab and international leaders. King Charles III was regally ensconced upon the historic King Edward’s Chair. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, anointed the monarch with consecrated regal oil, sourced from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. This sacred anointing essence, reserved for momentous occasions, had been prepared within the sanctified walls of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, just this past March.
