The coronation of Their Majesties the King and Queen Consort will take place on 6 May 2023, almost 70 years after Queen Elizabeth II’s last coronation in June 1953.
The historic St Edward’s Chair, which was made over 700 years ago and was first used for the coronation of King Edward II in 1308, will be used for the moment of Charles’ coronation. This was announced by Buckingham Palace.
In addition, the king and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will sit in so-called estate chairs and throne chairs at various points during the ceremony. They have been mothballed, restored and adapted as needed.
The estate chairs will be used at the start of the service and at the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Consort Camilla. They were made of carved and gilded beech in the seventeenth-century style for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Charles III and Camilla will also sit on thrones during some parts of the coronation. These seats were made for the 1937 coronation of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother.
The throne chairs are made in the style of the seventeenth century. They were once upholstered in crimson velvet and emblazoned with the royal coat of arms of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
In addition, Buckingham Palace has ordered 100 British oak chairs, which will be sold after the ceremony, with proceeds donated to charity.
It was previously reported that the cost of the coronation of Charles III and his wife Camilla has risen to 250 million pounds.
On the day of the coronation, Charles III will replace two carriages, one of them more than 260 years old.
