After Queen Elizabeth II died last month, her eldest son immediately became the king of England, Charles III (King Charles III), and also fulfilled his duties as ruler. But Charles III is still a little bit "unreasonable" because the coronation ceremony has not been held yet.
According to the " Daily Mail " on the evening of October 8 local time, details of the coronation ceremony of Charles III were exposed by , and will generally be carried out as the new king hopes.
It is reported that Charles made a request to the court assistant. He held a coronation ceremony on June 3 next year, "to set the tone for more efficient modern monarchs", while retaining some of the "glory and majesty that shocked the world" presented at the Queen's funeral.
Let’s take a look at the details that have been published below:
·The length of the coronation ceremony will be greatly shortened from more than 3 hours to more than 1 hour ;
·The guests attending the ceremony may be reduced from 8,000 to 2,000, a decrease of 6,000 , and hundreds of nobles and parliamentarians will be forced to absent;
· has discussed looser dresses , which may allow peers to wear regular dresses instead of fur-decorated velvet cloaks, etc.;
·Some ancient and time-consuming rituals, including the gift of gold ingots to the monarch, will be cancelled to save time;
· Prince William is likely to play an important role in helping to plan the ritual.
reported that Edward Ficcharan Howard, the successor of Norfolk Duke in 2002, will serve as the main planner of the ceremony, and his mission is to prepare a simpler, shorter and more diverse ceremony to reflect modern Britain. However, the 65-year-old duke wanted to "keep the secrets strictly", was very secretive about the ceremony and refused to comment.
"The king canceled most of the coronation to acknowledge that the world has changed over the past 70 years," said a person familiar with the matter. But at the same time, because the number of invited guests has dropped significantly, some people who were expected to participate now have to "compete" for tickets.
However, also has something to keep. " Golden Carriage " is one of them. This carriage, originally built in 1762, just spent a huge amount of money to renovate because of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, so it is natural to use it again.
In addition, some key ritual links will also be retained, such as "The Monarch's anointed ", that is, the sacred oil containing a variety of spices. Before the coronation ceremony, the Queen made it clear that she did not want to be broadcast live because it was a very sacred moment.
Whether Charles and his mother's choices will be different will be waiting and seen, but I think he will not agree to be filmed and broadcast live.
In addition, when the Queen was crowned in 1953, she sat on a unique velvet fabric seat, but when Charles was on, he would sit on a normal standard seat.
It is reported that the chair the queen sat on that year was not comfortable, especially when she was under the heavy crown on her head, she was simply enduring it.
It is reported that as previously estimated, Camilla will also be crowned queen at the ceremony, and there is no doubt about this. But since Camilla was not Charles' original wife or Prince William's biological mother, she would not be called the Queen Mother once Charles passed away first.
