[Religious Intelligence] 17 Nov 2008--Claims that Prince Charles will amend the coronation oath to become “Defender of Faith,” as opposed to the “Defender of the Faith” are unfounded, a spokesman for the Prince of Wales tells ReligiousIntelligence.com.
On Nov 13 the Daily Telegraph reported that a senior source said “there have been lots of discussions” of altering the oath to make it multi-faith. Prince Charles “would like to be known as the Defender of Faith which is a subtle but hugely symbolic shift,” the source told the Telegraph.
However, the Prince of Wales’ press spokesman told us there were no plans to alter the oath to accommodate multi-cultural sensitivities. Nor does Prince Charles have the authority under law to amend the oath.
