King Charles' Coronation oil has been blessed
The Coronation of King Charles is just a few weeks away, with preparations for the historic ceremony well underway.
Camilla will also be anointed with holy oil and crowned, just as the Queen Mother was when she was crowned Queen in 1937. The oil is based on what was used at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the formula of which has been used for hundreds of years. The King has strong links with the Holy Land because his grandmother Princess Alice, who harboured a Jewish family in Greece during the Second World War, is buried at the Russian Orthodox church of St Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem.
