When the late Queen died, Charles not only became King, he became head of the Church of England. Elizabeth II had spoken very personally of her faith on a number of occasions, and church events are a huge part of the royal calendar, whether it is the Commonwealth Day service or the family’s traditional Easter and Christmas gatherings at Windsor and Sandringham.

The Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, former Bishop of Kensington and now running the CofE’s Centre for Cultural Witness programme, joins Pod Save The King host Ann Gripper to explore the relationship between the royal family and the church.

They also reflect on the religious significance of the coronation, its regalia and the impact of the change in Sovereign on the Church.
