* Sources say King's desire for multi-faith ceremony risks clashing with canon law
* Commentator claims wrangle has delayed Coronation's Order of Service release
King Charles has been at loggerheads with Church leaders over the role other faiths should play in his Coronation, The Mail on Sunday understands.
Church sources say the monarch has been told that his desire for a ‘diverse’ ceremony, including participation by non-Christians, risks clashing with centuries- old canon law, which bars Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and other faith leaders from reading out prayers during the service.
Religious affairs commentator Catherine Pepinster claims today she has been told that this wrangle has delayed the release of the Coronation‘s Order of Service with barely four weeks to go until the ceremony. However, Buckingham Palace sources have denied there is any delay.
Last night, identically worded statements were issued by Lambeth Palace, on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Buckingham Palace, saying: ‘Details about the Coronation service will be released in due course.’
The tensions have arisen nearly 30 years after Charles famously declared his wish to be ‘Defender of Faith’, not simply ‘Defender of the Faith’ – a title that all English sovereigns since Henry VIII have held as head of the Church of England.

“Charles famously declared his wish to be ‘Defender of Faith’, not simply ‘Defender of the Faith’”
That told us everything we needed to know about him.
Guess theyll be serving Bud Light afterall.
King Putz i
May 6 is the Big Day!
This clown is going to turn the lights out on the Monarchy
yep
No William , Kate and the Kids are saving it.
“Defender of the faith”, my a55
Diana saved it through William.
Charles is the Destroyer of the Faith.
I’d tell them there’s plenty of seats in 5he back row.
But this is “Tampon I” so he’ll bend the knee to every cult.
Toss the whole lot of them.
That’s because Charles is a woke and weak King.
He is all in for the one world religion.
William is still only a prince. Chuckles is the king.
The Church of England is dead anyway, so what does it matter?
Somehow I feel Charles’ coronation will will be a mixture of the traditional pomp and the bizarre just like Charles himself. I wonder how Charles will address the problem of greenhouse gas horse farts when he rides in the state carriage?
