The King’s Journey to Coronation

BBC One - Songs of Praise, The King’s Journey to Coronation

Aled Jones is at Highgrove to explore key moments that shaped the life of King Charles.

Aled Jones is at Highgrove House, the country residence of King Charles, to explore some of the key moments that have shaped His Majesty’s life on his journey to coronation.

Ahead of the coronation, Aled Jones visits Highgrove House, the country residence of King Charles and Queen Camilla, to explore the magnificent gardens, a testament to Charles’ lifelong desire to champion causes close to his heart, especially the importance of protecting the natural environment.

Royal biographer, broadcaster and friend of the royals Gyles Brandreth tells Aled about some of the key events that have shaped the life and faith of the new King. Aled hears about the pioneering work of The Prince’s Trust, a charity founded by the King when he left the navy. He also meets a Christian florist to hear how the trust helped her change her life around after serving time in prison.

Aled hears from the dean of Westminster Abbey about the spiritual and sacred symbols which will be used in the coronation ceremony.
