There had been calls for wider changes to the oath, but the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden, reveals there would only be 'some updating'.
Some had questioned whether the reference to Protestantism in the third oath should be removed to reflect the diversity of religion in modern Britain.The King has long shown great interest in non-Christian faiths, and there had been debate in the past whether the King saw his spiritual role as"Defender of the Faith", or simply"Defender of Faith". He later clarified he wanted to be"protector" of faiths.
In a written statement, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden, confirmed after"careful consideration" there would only be"some updating" which would reflect the"evolved" number of the realms and territories. He also said they would be referred to"collectively" rather than named individually as the late Queen did.
