King laughs as Welby forgets words in Coronation rehearsal

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, forgot the words to his blessing during one of the final rehearsals for the King’s Coronation earlier this year.

The moment features in exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage released by the BBC for their upcoming programme on the King and Queen during their coronation year.

A laughing King doesn’t seem perturbed by what the Archbishop described as a “glitch,” comparing his memory to one of his spaniels.
