The coronation is a traditional religious ceremony in the United Kingdom in which a monarch is physically crowned and formally sworn in as the head of the Church of England. The coronation is performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. During the ceremony, the monarch being sworn in is presented to attendees at Westminster Abbey, who say in unison: “God Save the King (or Queen).” The monarch swears an oath to uphold both the law and the Church of England, and the Archbishop anoints the monarch with holy oil. Though the recipe of the oil is secret, it is known to contain ambergris, orange flowers, roses, jasmine, and cinnamon, and for Charles, the oil will be animal cruelty-free.
