FILE - 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.
Still, much of the priceless coronation regalia used for centuries will be part of crowning both Charles and Camilla, including five symbolic swords, two scepters and the Sovereign’s Ring of sapphire with a ruby cross set in diamonds. The crown, which is the inspiration for the coronation emoji, features a 4.9-pound solid gold frame set with rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnets, topazes and tourmalines and has a purple velvet cap and ermine band. It was worn by Elizabeth during her coronation and has been refitted for her son.
The Gold State Coach, which weighs 8,800 pounds , and is pulled by eight horses, is known for its notoriously rough ride.
