The three sides of the screen will be borne by a Trooper and Guardsman from each of The Life Guards, Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards, and Welsh Guards. The crosses were also embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework’s studio team.Īt the Coronation Service, the Anointing Screen will be held by service personnel from Regiments of the Household Division holding the Freedom of the City of London. The two sides of the screen feature a much simpler design with maroon fabric and a gold, blue and red cross inspired by the colours and patterning of the Cosmati Pavement at Westminster Abbey where the Anointing will take place. The screen is three-sided, with the open side to face the High Altar in Westminster Abbey. The design has been selected personally by The King and is inspired by the stained-glass Sanctuary Window in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, which was gifted by the Livery Companies to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. The King’s cypher is positioned at the base of the tree, representing the Sovereign as servant of their people. The central design takes the form of a tree which includes 56 representing the 56 member countries of the Commonwealth.

The Anointing Screen was designed by iconographer Aidan Hart and brought to life through both hand and digital embroidery, managed by the Royal School of Needlework. It has historically been regarded as a moment between the Sovereign and God, with a screen or canopy in place given the sanctity of the Anointing. The Dean of Westminster pours holy oil from the Ampulla into the Coronation Spoon, and the Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the Sovereign on the hands, chest and head. *Ĭruel King, Deviant King, Steel Princess, T wisted Kingdom, Black Knight, Vicious Prince, Ruthless Empire.The Anointing takes place before the investiture and crowning of His Majesty.
