Why Did King Charles Not Sing the National Anthem at the Coronation?

Despite its history of being a cut above the rest, Britain’s national anthem
rose to the ranks that it did at a time when the country was going through
turbulent times. “God bless our Noble King, God Save great George our King…”
sang the caste of Drury Lane Theatre. And throughout the years, it has become a
pivotal part of every royal ceremony that takes place. Therefore, it was only a
given that it be sung at the coronation of King Charles with all pomp and
grandeur. And while all the esteemed guests stood up to sing it, the center of
attraction had his lips sealed throughout.

The Coronation ceremony of King Charles, although cut down its guests
drastically, had more than 20 million viewers streaming it. And when a ceremony
in the 21st century costs around  $100 million dollars, fans make sure to notice
every minute detail. This is why King Charles not singing the national at his
crowning ceremony made waves.



Written by Henry Carey, the anthem famously goes “God save the King,” with its
other parts praying for its happiness or his long reign. And the King in
question is King Charles III. Therefore, it would not sound all too pleasing for
the King to wax poetic about himself.

King Charles, not singing the national anthem, is not a sign of his disrespect
but a display of his claiming the throne and the responsibility that came with
it. And King Charles getting emotional while singing the national anthem during
Queen Elizabeth’s funeral is a testament to this.


DID KING CHARLES BREAK ROYAL TRADITION BY NOT SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM?

The reign of the former monarch of England lasted over seventy years and some
two hundred days. Owing to its long span, not only England but the rest of the
world found comfort in Queen Elizabeth as the sovereign of Britain. Therefore,
as King Charles takes on the crown, the citizens and he are far from getting
along like a house afire. And add to this the fact that he did not sing the song
of praise dedicated to his country and you have earned an array of thumbs down
and questions about your respect for your homeland.

The tantalizing questions reach an abrupt stop when you pay attention to the
lyrics of the anthem. The head of the monarch has mostly stuck to not singing
the national anthem during their coronation, as it is a praise for them. While
Prince William along with Kate Middleton stood tall while singing his anthem,
when he takes the crown in the coming future, he too is likely to follow in his
father’s footsteps.
