A detail of some of the Commonwealth countries’ names stitched onto the anointing screen which will be used in the coronation of King Charles III, is pictured in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London, Britain April 24, 2023. The most important moment in the coronation is the “unction”, the sacred act of anointing a monarch with holy oil, which can be traced as far back as the 7th and 8th centuries, and signals that the monarch has been chosen by God. It is only seen by the sovereign and the Archbishop of Canterbury and will take place behind the anointing screen. The screen – which represents the 56 member countries of the Commonwealth – was designed by iconographer Aidan Hart and created using both hand and digital embroidery, managed by the Royal School of Needlework. It has been gifted for the occasion by the City of London Corporation and City Livery Companies. Victoria Jones/Pool via REUTERS
