Do you know your orb from your sceptre? Ever wondered how many jewels there are in St Edward鈥檚 Crown? And just what is the Coronation Oath?
Elle Osili-Wood shares her handy pocket guide to everything you ever wanted to know about the Coronation of King Charles III.
In this episode, it鈥檚 all about the Anointing.
The Anointing was considered so scared, it was the one moment of Queen Elizabeth II鈥檚 1953 Coronation that wasn鈥檛 shown on television, with a canopy held over the new Queen instead.
The Anointing is at the heart of the coronation ceremony, but most of us have never seen it before - so just what is it and why is it so special?
Who better to explain than Professor Anna Whitelock, historian of monarchy at City University of London?
