Before the Coronation
Does anyone know what the ceremony is called (if any) where a monarch proclaims his/her heir to the throne? The heir is not officially crowned or anything (unless to receive a "prince" or "princess" crown); they are only named as the heir. I know it is probably not practiced now, but was during the Middle and Post-Mideval period...? — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:30, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Something not unlike that took place in Caernarfon in 1969, when the Prince of Wales was installed as such; he even was 'crowned'! It has been called 'investiture' in England/Great Britain/United kingdom. I don't think that there was some kind of such a ceremony for proclaiming the dauphin in France.

Is this accurate?
"In France, the new monarch ascended the throne when the coffin of the previous monarch descended into the vault at Saint Denis Basilica, and the Duke of Uzes proclaimed 'Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi' (French: 'The king is dead; long live the King!')" I thought that French monarchs often forgoed coronation completly, or if they did have one they waited until several years into their reign. Ahassan05 17:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)ahassan05
British Monarchy's current ceremony/wording/oath?
Curious if anyone thinks it would be beneficial to include in this entry the text from the British Monarchy's current ceremony? Since Britain is the most well-known in the "western world", it would be interesting, I think, to know exactly what the monarch says at the time of his/her coronation.
Especially curious, I guess, since the Misplaced Pages entry for "Monarchy in Canada" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/Monarchy_in_Canada#Legal_role ) says that the Queen has obligations to her subjects based on the coronation ceremony. (The Monarch's acceptance of her responsibilities to her subjects is symbolised by the Coronation Oath.)
Can anyone help out here? (I'm not very experienced with how Misplaced Pages contents are written/organized).
- Text of the Monarch of the Commonwealth Realms' Coronation Oath is included here: Coronation of the British monarch. Perhaps just a link from this article to that one is all that's necessary. --gbambino 18:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
