Charles III has commissioned new works for his coronation, adding to the rich tapestry of pieces composed for the occasion. The first coronation music was likely sung chants, which, starting in 1603 with the coronation of James I, were refashioned into coronation anthems now with English text. Both have since become staples in the coronation service. And at the most recent coronation, comparisons between Elizabeth II and Charles III are unsurprisingly being made. Charles III’s coronation is set to usher in the new Carolean era, in the hopes that it will reflect its namesake Charles II and his contributions to art and music.

A Treasury Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. His family said they began petitioning the Treasury Department in 2020 to be removed from a list of sanctioned individuals known as the "Specially Designated Nationals" list. “It’s unfair for somebody to have to wait so long before getting a decision,” said the family’s attorney, Peter Robinson. The lawsuit asked the court to order OFAC to decide on their requests within 30 days and seeks attorney fees.
