PRAYERS FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY

The King has been pleased by Royal Warrant under His Royal Sign Manual dated 3rd May 2023 to alter prayers for the Royal Family, in form following:

WHEREAS it is provided by section 1(7) of the Church of England (Worship and Doctrine) Measure 1974 that in the prayers for or referring to the Sovereign or other members of the Royal Family contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England, the names may be altered, and any other necessary alterations made, from time to time as the circumstances require by Royal Warrant, and those prayers as so altered shall be used thereafter:

NOW, therefore, WE by this Our Royal Warrant declare Our Will and Pleasure as follows:

That in every prayer for or referring to Camilla the Queen Consort and contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England, instead of the words “Camilla the Queen Consort” the words “Queen Camilla” be inserted;

That in every prayer for the Royal Family contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England, the wording presently provided shall be substituted for the form of words hereinafter provided;

“Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech thee to bless Queen Camilla, William Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, and all the Royal Family. Endue them with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace; prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord”;

That these amendments shall take effect on and from the sixth day of May in the Year of Our Lord Two thousand and twenty-three.

Given at Our Court at Saint James’s
