TOPSHOT – Britain's Prince William, Prince of Wales touches St Edward's Crown on the head of his father, Britain's King Charles III, during the King's Coronation Ceremony inside Westminster Abbey in central London on May 6, 2023. – The set-piece coronation is the first in Britain in 70 years, and only the second in history to be televised. Charles will be the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned at the central London church since King William I in 1066. Outside the UK, he is also king of 14 other Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Camilla, his second wife, will be crowned queen alongside him and be known as Queen Camilla after the ceremony. (Photo by Yui Mok / POOL / AFP) (Photo by YUI MOK/POOL/AFP via Getty Images)

The Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla was a momentous occasion for their heirs as well. One viral clip from the ceremony shows Prince William pledging his loyalty to the king with as much pomp and circumstance as the British royal family could muster. The Prince of Wales is now next in line for the throne.

“I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God,” Prince William said in the ceremony. He delivered this vow as the king sat in his throne surrounded by other dignitaries. Prince William knelt on an ornate upholstered stool that put him at approximately eye-level with the king. The two men clasped hands during the speech. When it was finished Prince William stood and touched the crown, then leaned in to kiss his father on the cheek. The king said: “Thank you, William,” and the crowd stood up to cheer.
