Will Aussies have to publicly swear their loyalty to King Charles? Discover the surprising requirement for the coronation!

With the King's coronation less than a week away, Australians all over the world have been scrambling to learn more about one of the most important royal ceremonies in history.

Taking place at 11 am BST (8 pm AEST) on May 6, the coronation of King Charles III promises to offer a few surprises.

Unlike Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year-old coronation ceremony, it’s a sprawling two-hour event that will roll out in a much more modern setting.



There will be a multilingual prayer, the presence of female clergy and bishops, and the act of hereditary peers kneeling before touching the monarch’s crown and kissing his cheek — which is a striking change from the traditional coronation of the past.

But, the replacements for the latter tradition have raised eyebrows…

A new 'people's homage' has been announced by the Office of the Archbishop in London, allowing viewers of the coronation ceremony to take part in a 'solemn and joyful' moment from their own homes.

The Most Rev Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, will offer the opportunity for those who desire to pay homage to the monarch to 'pledge true allegiance.'

'I 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,' he’ll say.



The individuals paying homage are requested to declare: 'I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.'

Prior to Archbishop Welby's proclamation of ‘God Save the King’ a fanfare will resound.

In response, a worldwide chorus of ‘God save King Charles, long live King Charles, may the King live forever’ will reverberate.

However, the modification has been met with disdain by certain Australians opposed to publicly proclaiming and pledging loyalty.



Some have resorted to expressing their indignation on social media.

One Sydneysider wrote: ‘Oh my god, who cares about the King, I will not be doing this.’

‘Cry out and swear allegiance to King Charles from wherever I won’t be watching the coronation? What a load of nonsense,’ another added.



In the meantime, a few Australians have presented an ultimatum, stating that they would only participate in the homage if they were granted a public holiday as compensation.

‘If you give me a public holiday for it, I assure you that I will do it,’ one tweet declared.

While some royal enthusiasts were willing to participate in the gesture in exchange for a public holiday, at this stage there’s been no announcement suggesting a public holiday anytime soon.

Key Takeaways
  • King Charles III's coronation service will take a more modernised approach with several historical firsts.
  • New traditions, including a multilingual prayer and the presence of female clergy and bishops, were introduced to encourage unity between faiths.
  • Australians and others worldwide are invited to participate in the 'Homage of the People' from their homes.
  • Some Australians are reportedly questioning the need to pay homage, labelling the new tradition as 'absurd.'



Regardless of individual feelings on the matter, the coronation of King Charles III has already gained his place in the history books, with a seismic shift in long-held traditions.

And even as Australia wrestles with the question of whether to pledge allegiance, the world will undoubtedly be watching with keen interest as the Royal Family takes another step towards modernisation and inclusivity.

I'll probably watch, but as for paying homage? I had to swear allegiance to the Queen when I took on British citizenship and again when I took on Australian citizenship. That's more than enough I reckon.

As for Charles, I quite like the guy. It was a shame that we was not permitted to marry Camilla, I never liked Little Miss Ignoramus Diana who was unable to keep her panties on while she was still married to Charles.

I wish Charles all the best in his new career.

I haven't and remember it's a well know fact he was cheating just before he married and after. Remember he gave Camilla a bracelet the say before the wedding to Diana and he wore cufflinks to his wedding that Camilla gave him with both his and her inituals intwined and Diana confirmed this in an interview and with proof.

Diana cheated later on When she knew Charles was still seeing Camilla and she got no attention from Charles, again from Diana's mouth and I would believe her over anyone.

He ruined her life.

Don't forget he went on to marry the woman he cheated on Diana with !!!
"The Crown, on the other hand, emphasises that Charles never stopped contacting his former mistress.

Howard Hodgson, royal biographer and an acquaintance of the Prince of Wales, told Express.co.uk that this particular storyline was completely inaccurate.

He explained: “When Charles comes to his third [relationship] with Camilla, they are by now both married and both very unhappy, and Patti Palmer-Tomkinson invites them to her house in 1986, and that’s it.

“By that time, Diana had had affairs with 10 people, all of which the public knew nothing about.”"

We really only "know" what the press/media choose to report and we know they never let the facts get in the way of a good story. The well-known facts you cite may or may not be true. We will never really know for sure what went on behind closed doors but I think it's their business, not ours. Personally, however, I have never cared for Diana and I would not trust her word on anything. She really knew how to play the press to garner sympathy. It would be interesting to know Charles' side of the story because I suspect he did not have had an easy time of it being married to her.

And you wonder why the world is going to hell, like a basket case, for not keeping the Commandments and the Lord and his Statutes!!! I was a total agnostic until I saw the light, from studying the Australian National Flag, that goes right back to Genesis in the Holy Bible! At age 46 I had a full immersion baptism.

It is so interesting that we have to read, both the Old and New Testaments, to see the inspirational word of God, coming alive from creation and Abraham through to Jesus Christ The Messiah, and to King Charles III.

Genesis 31:13-
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me.
Genesis 32:28- Then the Lord God said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.
Genesis 35:11- And God said to him, “I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a NATION (Manassah) and a COMPANY of nations (Commonwealth) (Ephraim) of nations shall be of thee, and kings will be among your descendants. (For all time)

King Charles III will be crowned on the Sacred Pillow of Jacob, Bethel Stone of Destiny (stone of Scone) with the sacred Holy Anointing and we will all sing "God Save the KING! Long live the KING! As decreed for King David way back when and all the Kings since Amen & Amen!

I am writing the book about my findings.

I hate pomp and ceremony and I probably won’t watch. But on the other hand it’s history in the making so I might have a quick look lol. I’m sure I won’t be pledging any allegences though.

Each to their own although I think it was disgusting that Charles married Diana and at such a young age. I really believe what Diana said in her interview. If what she said was lies don't you think the Royal Family would have sued her. You can't do an interview and lie

Remember King Saul became the Apostle Paul , in his time of reign he killed and ordered many to be killed then God opened his eyes and he repented and used his time preaching to many countries . I can't imagine Charles giving up his throne and preaching the word of God

Diana knew she was quite safe to lie her head off in the interview because whenever there is a scandal, the royals remain silent. Also, Diana was completely self obsessed, which became clear in her relarionship with the press. She used to complain when the press didn't pay her any attention and she did whatever it took to get their attention when she felt ignored. In short, she was a narcissist and completely unfit to be the wife of the heir to the throne.

Diana was 20 when Charles married her, by comparison, Queen Elizabeth was 21 when she and Prince Philip married. Still reckon that Diana was too young?

Yes, it is a shame that Charles did not follow the example of his great-uncle (Edward VIII) and marry the woman he loved instead of Diana.
 
I'm happy for Charlie to have his turn as King, he has been groomed for the job all his life. It won't change our day to day lives and adds a measure of security to our Parliament. While our current PM is certainly changing our lives with changes which are dividing our nation, no doubt he will be wanting a referendum on the Republic ( with him President).

I will never pledge allegiance to Charles. I refuse to call this man King and as for is wife. I think these two are disgusting. If we have a referendum on being a republic again, I will be signing up for for it. I have no respect for either him or his wife.

No. I won’t swear allegiance to King Charles. He - and the royal family - have no relevance to modern Australia.
I will vote for Australia to be a republic at the earliest opportunity.

You can't compare Prince Phillip was only 5 years older than the Queen and not in love with another woman where as Charles was 13 years older. Diana 19 and Charles 32 and he was in love with another woman and a still married other woman.
If my daughter was 21 and marrying a 26 year old no problem but 19 marrying a 32 year old I wouldn't be happy
 
What a bunch of silly people voicing their opinions as if anyone really cares what they think, personally I think people should read things properly before making comment. If you do not like the monarchy then don't, many do including myself, although I do admit I am English and very proud of that, which is my right. However, this comment " we will do it if we have a public holiday" wow does that mean that you pledged your allegiance to the late Queen Elizabeth because there was a public holiday for the Queen's birthday? I think you will find that there will be a public holiday for the King's birthday although that hasn't been announced when that will be. I am sure you will all gladly take that public holiday.
