King Charles III is anointed with holy oil during the coronation | ABC News

King Charles III is anointed with holy oil. The King is divested of the Robe of State and sits in the Coronation Chair. The Anointing Screen, held by representatives of the Household Division, is held around the King. The choir sings Zadok the Priest.
The anointing has historically been seen as a private moment between the Sovereign and God, with a screen or canopy in place.
