Copied from the Internet (so it must be true!):

"The Coronation Oil - used to anoint the new Sovereign seated in the Coronation Chair - is a secret formula but includes oils of orange flowers, roses, cinnamon, jasmine, musk and ambergris"
There hasn't been an English monarch since Elizabeth "1st"

The original recipe for the oil was lost, but then found again and made up into phials, to be used during coronations.
Now, the famous recipe created by Constance Spry for the Queen's Coronation lunch in 1953 was Coronation Chicken. What does Spry make? They make Spry Crisp 'n' Dry cooking oil. Forget roses and ambergris, they got Coronation Oil out of the nearest corner shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well oil be blowed!
