We are gathered here to bear witness to the naming of Queen Catrina as the rightful heir to Camelot.
Geoffrey of Monmouth[src]

The Coronation of Queen Catrina refers to the coronation where the troll Queen Catrina was named the rightful heir to Camelot.

Events

Catrina's coronation occurred after she convinced Uther to disinherit Arthur and make her his heir instead. It took place in the Hall of Ceremonies and was attended by most of the court of Camelot, including King Uther, Prince Arthur, Lady Morgana, Gaius, and Guinevere. Merlin also observed the ceremony from the balcony.

Catrina stood before the throne while the officiant, Geoffrey of Monmouth, administered the oath of office. This required her to swear to govern the people of Camelot and uphold the laws and customs of the land; to cause law and justice in mercy to be executed in all her judgments; and to serve the people of Camelot and maintain the laws and customs of the land.

Prior to the coronation, Merlin had replaced Catrina's glamour potion with a fake, identical potion concocted by Gaius, which caused Catrina to begin reverting to her natural troll form during the ceremony. She grabbed the crown from Geoffrey and fled the room as soon as the oaths were completed, but Uther, Arthur, and Morgana followed her and witnessed her transformation.

Arthur and Morgana were shocked and horrified, but Uther was still under Catrina's enchantment and was blind to her true form. As such, he refused to revoke her title and Catrina remained his wife and heir (Beauty and the Beast).
