The coronation of Their Majesties the King and Queen Consort will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023.
On coronation day at Westminster Abbey, Charles III re-enacted the garments worn by previous monarchs before he ascended the throne. This was reported on the official website of the royal family.
In particular, His Majesty the King will use the white linen tunic, special coronation robe and imperial robe, as well as the sword belt and coronation gloves worn by his grandfather, King George VI.
The coronation cloak takes the form of a long-sleeved golden cloak and is worn under the full-length imperial cloak, and is also fastened with a coronation sword belt.
The prototype of the mantle is the clothing of the clergy. Each half of the front part of the tunic of the most worthy is embroidered with threads in a spiral, made in a strip using the technique of gold embroidery and has the shape of leafy stems.
As for the imperial mantle, it was made of gold woven fabric, embroidered with gold, silver and silk thread, consisting of silk, fringe of gold bars and a gold clasp. The golden canvas is crowned with roses, thistles, shamrocks, crowns, eagles and orange blossoms. The gold clasp is made in the shape of an eagle.
Such a mantle with a golden eagle attached symbolizes the divine nature of the origin of the kingdom.
The belt, also known as the coronation sword belt, is made of gold cloth and embroidered with gold thread in arabesque and scroll style. It is wrapped in dark red silk and has a gold buckle with national emblems.
In this regard, the glove is made of white leather, and the wrist is embroidered with golden metal thread, wire and sequins in the form of national emblems, including the Tudor rose, thistle, shamrock, oak leaves and acorns . On the back, it is decorated with an embroidered velvet crown above the coat of arms of the Dukes of Newcastle family. Charles III would place it in his right hand.
