King Charles III has taken his Coronation oath.
After the Recognition, the king was presented the Coronation Bible by Iain Greenshields, moderator of the general assembly for the Church of Scotland, who sets the words of God – the Bible – as the “royal law” to govern with.
The Archbishop of Canterbury acknowledged the multiple faiths observed in the UK by saying the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely”.
The Archbishop asked King Charles to confirm that he will uphold the law and the Church of England during his reign.
