The monarch will be crowned with his wife Queen Consort Camilla next year.
King Charles III will be crowned on June 3, 2023 in London at Westminster Abbey, UK officials have announced. Bloomberg writes about this, citing government sources.
It was also noted that the coronation will be a smaller and more modest version of previous ceremonies, with space for representatives of different faiths and social groups, matching the diversity of modern Britain.
When Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, more than 8,000 visitors from 129 countries arrived at Westminster Abbey in central London, where temporary platforms were erected to receive guests, including all members of the British aristocracy. Security restrictions mean the church can only accommodate around 2,000 people at this time, which is a headache for planners.
The King will sit on a throne known as Edward’s Chair, holding in his hands the scepter and baton of sovereignty, symbolizing his constitutional control over the country, and the orb of sovereignty, symbolizing Christendom. After Charles is anointed, blessed and ordained by the higher clergy, the crown of Saint Edward will be placed on his head.
St Edward’s Crown, named after the last Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor, is made of solid gold and set with more than 400 precious stones, including rubies, garnets and sapphires. The version to be used next year was originally made for Charles II in 1661 and is 30 centimeters tall and weighs 2.23 kilograms. He is usually guarded in the Tower of London.
Remember that the strange demands of Charles III were once named.
