This phraseology seems to becoming more frequent - I assume if comes from half-educated US journalists. We speak of a monarch ascending the throne, sexctbing a physical action of course, but not until recently have we had a monarch’s “ascension”. Even worse is the Americanism of a monarch being “coronated” to describe their coronation.
A slip of the tongue dear boy, a slip of the tongue!
The one that gets on my nerves is “ funeral for” rather than “ of”.
As irritating as "coronated" (in stead of "crowned") are the democratising phrases "served" (in stead of "reigned"), and "resigned"/"stepped down" ( in stead of "abdicated", for both prince and pope).
Once Clever: What makes you think that it has anything to do with Americans? Or are you just displaying jealous bigotry at our expense?
I have never come across the alleged "Americanism" "coronated" to which you refer, but I have seen plenty of bad English by British people.
