While reading out the oath, the archbishop will call upon "all persons of goodwill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other realms and the territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted King, defender of all".
The order of service will read: "All who so desire, in the abbey, and elsewhere, say together:
"I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God."
The oath will be followed by the sound of a fanfare.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will then proclaim: "God Save The King", and those willing will be asked to respond: "God Save King Charles. Long live King Charles. May the King live forever."

I remember L.Olivier shouting that on the official film of the Queen's coronation. It sounded bats even then!
― Mark G, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 09:31 (one year ago) link
Spain abolished coronations in 1494, Norway in 1908, the Benelux countries have never had them, just to give an indication of how behind the curve we are.
Disestablishment would effectively end coronations as they are religious ceremonies, so if the CoE continues on its current trajectory it might mean Wills doesn't have one, let's see...

Don’t understand why Nick Cave is calling the coronation the ‘most important historical event of our age.’ It’s an elderly man getting to wear a crown at last. It’s ridiculous. And Brits are paying 100mill for this vanity parade when the country is broke.— JEANETTE WINTERSON (@Wintersonworld) May 3, 2023

I'm feeling a powerful and quite positive appreciation for why the coldblooded murderous excesses of revolutions have frequently got out of control throughout history. Oh yes, it's another fucking royal weekend.
― calzino, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 21:41 (one year ago) link
Most European countries have inbred royal families running about the place, Nick, it's not really any kind of evidence of a deeply eccentric naturr at all. Acknowledging them officially is embarassing yes but even there the UK's not the only one.
