Prince Charles Wants Second Interdenominational Coronation
According to a report yesterday from This Is London, Britain's Prince Charles wants to make changes in the traditional coronation ceremony when he becomes king. Some time after the formal Christian coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey, Charles wants a separate interdenominational ceremony in Westminster Hall to acknowledge Britains of other religious faiths. This is consistent with a proposal made some month ago by Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Cantebury. Prince Charles also rejects the precedent created at his mother's Coronation when television cameras were required to withdraw during certain sacred parts of the Coronation ceremony.
