Queen Elizabeth II ensured religion was protected during her Coronation

Queen Elizabeth ensured proper Royal traditions were followed when she became the monarch.

During her coronation in 1953 Her Majesty insured the annoying thing part of the ceremony was hidden from public eye and not broadcasted on television.

In the new book Crown and People: British Coronations and the Shaping of National Identity 973–2023, George William Cullen Gross says: "In a similar vein to the religiosity of baptism, the ceremony of anointing was hidden from television cameras during the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II to preserve the mystery surrounding it.”

The author continued: "In this instance, four Knights of the Garter held the canopy of gold over and around the monarch to shield the act from view. During the act of Anointing, the monarch disrobes from their crimson robes and takes off any jewelry, giving up all symbols of their status."

The author shared: "The Archbishop is then handed the Ampulla containing special 'holy' oil or chrism. An eagle-shaped flask in solid gold, it dates back to the remade crown jewels for the coronation of Charles II in 1661."
