Queen Elizabeth II
primary
A young woman of 27 years with a slender yet regal bearing. Her fair complexion is framed by soft waves of dark brown hair, and her clear blue eyes reflect both solemnity and quiet resolve. Her posture is impeccably straight, embodying the dignity of her royal station.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s with a dignified bearing, his silver hair thinning but carefully combed. His face is lined with wisdom, and his pale blue eyes exude both kindness and authority. His posture is straight despite his age, and his hands are steady, befitting his high ecclesiastical office.
Lady-in-Waiting
secondary
A poised noblewoman in her late 30s with a slender but strong build, her pale complexion flushed with the solemnity of the occasion. Her chestnut hair is neatly pinned beneath her headpiece, with a few artful curls framing her face. Her hands are delicate but purposeful as they attend to the queen's robes.
Bishop Assistant
secondary
A middle-aged man with a slender build, clean-shaven face, and short, neatly combed gray hair. His deep-set eyes convey quiet devotion, and his hands are slightly calloused from years of handling sacred texts.

Dialog
Archbishop of Canterbury
May the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone gives majesty to monarchs, crown you with His grace and protection as I now place upon your head this crown of royal dignity.
Queen Elizabeth II
I am ready to be crowned according to the ancient rite, with the help of God and the support of Our people.
Bishop Assistant
The Orb, Your Grace - the Liber Regalis specifies it must be presented before the crowning.
Archbishop of Canterbury
Receive this Orb set under the Cross, and remember that the whole world is subject to the Power and Empire of Christ our Redeemer.
Queen Elizabeth II
The weight of this Orb reminds one that earthly power is but temporary, while the kingdom of Christ endures forever.
Bishop Assistant
The Sceptre with the Cross next, Your Grace - the Liber specifies the right hand only.
Archbishop of Canterbury
Now may Almighty God, whose ministers we are and whose dignities we bear, establish your throne in righteousness that it may stand fast forevermore.
