King Charles III and his wife, Camilla, were officially crowned on the throne of the United Kingdom, after taking the royal oath, on Saturday.
And the British Archbishop placed St. Edward's crown on the king's head, which is the only time that Charles wears the crown in his life, according to the BBC.
And King Charles said: "I, Charles, stand faithfully and truthfully before God, and testify and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and that, according to the true intent of the legislation which secures the Protestant succession to the throne, I will uphold and maintain the said legislation to the best of my power according to the law."
The British newspaper "The Guardian" reported that the oath was different from the oath taken by Queen Elizabeth, Charles' mother, in 1953.
For the first time the preamble was added which specifically committed the King that he would "endeavour to promote an environment in which people of all faiths and beliefs may live freely".
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby acknowledged the multiplicity of religions in the United Kingdom, saying that the Church of England "will seek to promote an environment in which adherents of all faiths can live freely," according to the BBC.
The Archbishop of Canterbury recited the coronation oath, which is a canonical requirement.
Welby asked King Charles to confirm his commitment to the law and the teachings of the English Church during his reign, and the king laid his hand on the Holy Bible and pledged to "carry out and fulfill those covenants."
Camilla, wife of King Charles, was also crowned with religious and royal ceremonies and a modified version of Queen Mary's tiara on her head.
According to Buckingham Palace sources, the wife of King Camilla used the crown of Queen Mary, which she wore during the coronation of King Charles III.
According to media reports, the controversial Kohinoor diamond was removed from the crown after the ruling party in India warned of the consequences of reviving "painful memories of the colonial past".
The crown, which was used today for the first time in three centuries, belonged to the king's consort.
And Queen Camilla made the decision to use Queen Mary's tiara for the sake of continuity.
The crown was modified by adding diamonds from the third, fourth and fifth Cullinan brooch, in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, which she kept in her personal jewelry collection.
Earlier today, the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and his wife Camilla took place in Westminster Abbey, in the presence of Prince Harry, Crown Prince William and his wife.
Millions across the United Kingdom and other countries of the world watched the coronation of King Charles, a symbolic celebration interspersed with religious ceremonies.
And the BBC reported that King Charles III used the imperial state crown, which weighs 1 kg, which is used regularly by British monarchs on official occasions such as the official opening of Parliament.
Created in 1937 by Charles George VI's grandfather, the State Crown is set with 2,868 diamonds in silver mounts including a 105-carat Cullinan II, the second largest cut of the original diamond.
It was presented to Edward VII by the Transvaal government in South Africa for his birthday in 1907.
The royal coronation ring, otherwise known as the "wedding band", consists of a blue sapphire with a sapphire cross set with diamonds, and was made at the coronation of King William IV in 1831.
It has been worn since then by all British monarchs after coronation.
It symbolizes the royal dignity, and the loyal "marriage" of the king since he accepted the coronation.
Opposition
While Prime Minister Rishi Sunak considered the event "a proud expression of our history, culture and traditions." He described it as "a moment of exceptional national pride... living evidence of the modern character of our country and the traditions we cherish through which a new era is being born." Not everyone sees that.
Polls indicate declining support for the British crown, especially among younger men, with calls for modernization or the abolition of the entire monarchy.
And the Republicans, demanding an elected head of state, promised to stage a Coronation Day protest with slogans that read: "Not mine" (Not my King).
Outside the UK, Charles's position as heir to the throne is weakening in 14 of the Commonwealth's countries.
Belize and Jamaica earlier this week hinted at steps towards becoming a republic, and Australia, Canada and other countries are likely to take similar steps.
As for the British, who suffer from the high cost of living, they wonder why taxpayers should bear the cost of the ceremony, which is estimated at more than 100 million pounds ($ 126 million).
However, the crowds supporting the royal family that camp all week on The Mall Street leading to Buckingham Palace are evidence that the royal family still has a role in British history and traditions.
The coronation is the culmination of a three-day ceremony that includes a musical celebration at Windsor Castle, west of London, on Sunday night.
