Others slammed the Coronation ceremony, which will be a display of extravagance featuring many items from the Crown Jewels, as 'tone-deaf' as the majority of people battle financially with the rising cost-of-living.Ī spokesperson for Lambeth Palace, the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, said the Homage of the People was 'exciting'. ''Getting the masses to swear fealty to one of the world's wealthiest men even as they are daily further impoverished by profiteers is really the only statement you need on the decline of Britain.' 'I swear to continue paying allegiance to Rule by Wealth, and to all who profiteer and siphon off money from the public weal, according to law or not,' she wrote. Professor Gopal offered her take on the pledge in a scathing Twitter post on Sunday. The change has drawn criticism in the UK, with Cambridge Professor Priyamvada Gopal comparing it to 'peasants' being asked to pledge allegiance to the rule of wealth. The Archbishop will then say 'God save The King' to which the public is asked to respond: 'God save King Charles, long live King Charles, may The King live for ever.'

The public is then asked to say: 'I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. 'I call upon all persons of goodwill in The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other Realms and the Territories, to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted King, defender of all,' the Archbishop of Canterbury will say. The Coronation will be held at Westminster Abbey, with around 2,000 people attending the once-in-a-generation event, on May 6. This will replace the previous Homage of Peers which for centuries expected dukes, the highest hereditary title of nobility in the UK, to swear their allegiance to the Crown. In a controversial new addition to the ancient ceremony, the Archbishop of Canterbury will call on the public in the UK and 'other realms' to make the pledge in what is called the Homage of the People. Australians will be asked to swear an oath of allegiance to King Charles III on his Coronation Day from their homes or places of work.
