There is " no drama" over whether The Public swear allegiance to The King during his Coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

Guests watching The Service will be invited to join " a chorus of millions" to swear allegiance in The Service led by Justin Welby .

The Homage of The People , revealed on Saturday by Lambeth Palace , is a new addition to the Ancient Ceremony .

But campaign group Republic called it " nonsense" and " offensive".

Speaking to the Bbc News , the archbishop reiterated The Oath was " an Invitation , it's not a command".

" In every Anglican service, every Christian service, it is normal for congregations to participate, " He Said .

" It's an Invitation - so if you want to Join In at this point, by all means do so.

" If you don't want to, that's fine. There's no drama to it. "

Asked about reports suggesting he had gone " rogue" the archbishop insisted The Service had been a " huge, collaborative [with Buckingham Palace ] and very lovely process".
