This gave her authority even over those areas of India which were not formally subject to British rule.

Key Points: 
  • This gave her authority even over those areas of India which were not formally subject to British rule.
  • To give this change of title a formal announcement in India, the British authorities staged what became the first of three durbars – ceremonial events held in the British Raj to formally proclaim the imperial title.
  • The first coronation of a British monarch since 1953 comes at a time of reckoning for the monarchy, the royal family and the Commonwealth.
  • George’s coronation in Westminster Abbey invested him with all his imperial titles, so what would be the impact of being “crowned” in India?

Coronation and the commonwealth

    • The 1931 Statute of Westminster formalised the evolution of some former colonies into self-governing dominions within a British commonwealth.
    • The coronation oath, a legal requirement dating back to the Coronation Oath Act of 1688, has been amended on various occasions, taking account of former colonies which have become republics.

Elements of empire

    • Even the medieval roots of the coronation have elements of empire built into them.
    • One item of the crown jewels is a stark reminder of empire – but it will notably be missing from the coronation ceremony.
    • The controversy about the Koh-i-Noor will doubtless continue, but won’t intrude on this coronation ceremony.

A new-look guest list

    • The biggest move away from imperial tradition has been in the compilation of the guest list.
    • Charles III has departed from precedent by issuing invitations to monarchs from Europe and the Middle East, regardless of whether or not they had ties to the British empire.
    • Some other heads of state are also attending, though the US will be represented by the first lady, Jill Biden, rather than the president.
