I 2004 benyttedes hymnen i kongelig sammenhæng - ikke til at krone det bedste fodboldhold eller den engelske monark - men da Danmarks kronprins og kommende konge fik sin kronprinsesse:
One of George I of Great Britain's last acts before his death in 1727 was to sign an "Act of naturalisation of George Frideric Händel and others". His first commission from Handel as a newly-naturalised British subject was to write the music for the coronation of George II of England and Queen Caroline which took place on 11 October the same year
The text of Zadok is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of Solomon by Zadok
and Nathan and the people's rejoicing at this event. These words have been used in every English coronation since that of King Edgar at Bath Abbey in 973[2] and Handel's setting has been used at every coronation since 1727. It is traditionally performed during the sovereign's anointing and its text is after 1 Kings 1:38–40).
