The King’s Declaration

The King’s Declaration.—On February 6, with the usual ceremonies the British Parliament was opened by King George V and Queen Mary. The old Royal Declaration, with its words concerning the idolatry of the mass, was omitted. The revised declaration thus reads:
“I do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and I will, according to the true intent of the enactments which secure the Protestant succession to the throne of my realm, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers according to law.”
The English monarch is still legally Protestant.
