King Charles III plans to take a short cut and smoother ride to Westminster Abbey for his coronation, trimming the procession route his mother took in 1953.
Britain's King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort attend the Easter Mattins Service at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, Sunday April 9, 2023. King Charles III will be taking a short cut and a smoother ride to Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023, trimming the procession route his mother took in 1953 as he aims for a more modest coronation that will include some modern touches.
The 1.3 mile route is a bit shorter than the one Elizabeth took to the royal church. The procession will go through Admiralty Arch; past Trafalgar Square and a statue of Charles I, the monarch beheaded in 1649; and by the houses of Parliament before arriving for the 11 a.m. religious service.While Charles wants to show the monarchy is still relevant in modern, multi-cultural Britain, he has said he plans to slim down the institution.
During the solemn ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury, Charles will be crowned the king with the St. Edward’s Crown, the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels viewed by millions of people every year at the Tower of London. Unlike the 5 mile route Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip took around London in 1953, Charles and Camilla will return the way they came, but in a 260-year-old carriage used in every coronation since William IV’s in 1831.
