Nathan Tidridge, vice-president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, said the contrast for Charles' coronation is stark
Ahead of Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953, Kenneth Munro’s Grade 2 class studied the history of the monarchy, staged a play about the Royal Family and all 700 students at his northern Ontario school listened live on radio as she took her oath.
"The whole community was really geared toward this event, and certainly at school, so that you couldn’t get away from it," Munro, 77, said. While feelings about the monarchy's rightful place in Canadian society and governance have grown increasingly mixed, the coronation offers an occasion to inform residents about the institution, said Nathan Tidridge, vice-president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada.
"We had a picture of the queen, Prince Philip, and actually Prince Charles and Princess Anne as well, in the classroom," he said. "We would sing O Canada in the morning, but in the evening, God Save the Queen." The celebratory atmosphere existed in other school districts as well, according to archival material and officials.
"Parades, choirs, drill demonstrations are consistently shown in records of student activities," she said. "The Girl Guides and Scouts organizations are also often mentioned as marching in the parades."That is a problem, he argued, because "the coronation and just the Crown in general is something that is, whether people like it or not, intrinsically important to the federation.
