The moment has been specially commissioned to reflect the King’s paternal heritage.
The choir will sing Psalm 71 during the exchange of swords in the investiture, with the words printed in both Greek and English in the coronation liturgy. Prince Philip was born a prince of Greece and Denmark on the Greek island of Corfu, in 1921.
He was exiled from Greece with his family when he was just 18 months old when a military coup overthrew his uncle, King Constantine I.
He dedicated decades of his life to royal duty as the late Queen’s “strength and stay”.
