Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson marries landscaper Samuel Morrison in lavish Yarra Valley wedding before partying into the night The king – who as prince greeted the new millennium by going on Thought for the Day and praying for a rediscovery of “a sense of the sacred in all that surrounds us” – is, perhaps, less out of tune with the vibes of the age than he might appear. There may be magic in monarchy yet. How will this play out among the subjects of the new king? The British are an immeasurably more secular people than they were when the last coronation was staged 70 years ago. Almost 40% of the population of England and Wales described themselves in the most recent census as belonging to “no religion”. Meanwhile, the Churches of England and Scotland, both of which the monarch is constitutionally pledged to defend, are in decline relative both to various other Christian denominations and to religions that had barely registered in Britain when Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne.

The perfect symbol for these currents was provided by the Green Man that featured on the invitation to the coronation: a figure that can be interpreted simultaneously as Christian and pagan, and adorns both medieval churches and the placards of Extinction Rebellion.
