About this deal

Camilla has chosen to be crowned in the crown made for Charles’s great-grandmother, Queen Mary, for George V’s coronation in 1911. It is the first time a consort’s crown has been recycled for a coronation rather than a new one created and could potentially be renamed Queen Camilla’s Crown in the future. The Homage was given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and The Prince of Wales. The People’s Homage followed, an opportunity for those who wished to be given voice within the Service, and for those at home to have a chance to be an extension of the Westminster Abbey congregation, if they wished. A fanfare sounded, and the choir sang an Anthem arranged by John Rutter for the Coronation of King George VI. Two Maces, made of silver gilt over oak, date between 1660 and 1695 and are the ceremonial emblems of authority which are carried before the Sovereign at events such as the State Opening of Parliament. Also carried before the Sovereign on formal occasions is the Sword of State, symbolising Royal authority; a steel blade with a silver-gilt hilt, enclosed in a wooden scabbard which is covered in velvet. In 1660 and 1678, during the reign of King Charles II, two such swords were made, the elder of which has not survived. The remaining sword has been used at several Coronations and, in 1969, the Investiture of The Prince of Wales. The sword is carried with the point upwards, and the scabbard carries the coat of arms of King William III.

For The Crowning, The Dean of Westminster delivered St Edward’s Crown to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who offered a blessing before His Majesty The King is crowned. The Archbishop led the congregation of Westminster Abbey in saying, ‘God save The King’. The bells of the Abbey rang as gun salutes were fired in celebration on Horse Guards Parade, at His Majesty’s Fortress the Tower of London, and at Saluting Stations throughout the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Bermuda, and His Majesty’s ships at sea. In Westminster Abbey, the Wiener Philharmoniker Fanfare was played by the Coronation Brass Ensemble, as requested by The King. His Majesty was then blessed by ecumenical leaders. The Archbishop of Canterbury conducted the service, a duty which has been undertaken since the Conquest in 1066. For the first time in 1953, a representative of another Church, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, also took part. The Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross has been used at every coronation since Charles II’s in 1661. It is the symbol of royal earthly power and is placed in the monarch’s right hand for the crowning. The sceptre was transformed in 1910 for George V with the addition of the spectacular Cullinan I diamond: 530.2 carats and the largest colourless cut diamond in the world. Sovereign’s Sceptre with Dove The first official record of it comes from India in the 1740s and has changed hands between various empires, before Britain acquired it in the 1840s.The Queen Consort’s Ring, a ruby in a gold setting, was made for the Coronation of King William IV and Queen Adelaide in 1831, and has been used by three further Queens; Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. During the service, it is presented to the monarch, who carries it to be placed on the altar. One of the peers traditionally offers the price of 100 silver shillings for the sword. The peer then draws the sword and carries it without its scabbard before the monarch for the rest of the service. It symbolises royal power and the monarch accepting his duty and knightly virtues. Armills The original Cullinan diamond, a 3,106 carat stone unearthed in South Africa in 1905, was a gift to King Edward VII from the Transvaal government to help smooth relations between Britain and South Africa after the Boer War. The King had the rough diamond cut into nine significant stones and 96 smaller diamonds. After the Cullinan I, the second largest, the Cullinan II, was set in the Imperial State Crown. The Stole Royal for The King was newly created and embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, from a design created, under the direction of Garter King of Arms, by Timothy Noad, Herald Painter at the College of Arms. Inspired by the Stole worn by Queen Elizabeth II, the new design features a series of roundels set in a gold chain framework and applied to Cloth of Gold. Each roundel features an embroidered image using the Silk Shading technique, also known as ‘painting with a needle’. Queen Elizabeth II is the sixth Queen to have been crowned in Westminster Abbey in her own right. The first was Queen Mary I, who was crowned on 1 October, 1553.

The Royal British Legion provided a Guard of Honour of 100 Standard Bearers to line the procession route in Parliament Square. The charity’s participation is in line with its support at previous significant royal events. The Standard Bearers represented the RBL and seven other associated Armed Forces charities; The Royal Naval Association, Royal Marines Association, Army Benevolent Fund, Air Forces Association, Royal Commonwealth and Ex Services League, Merchant Navy Association and SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity. Mirroring the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Dove, the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove is symbolic of ‘equity and mercy’ and the dove, with its folded wings, is symbolic of the Holy Ghost. In recognition of multi-faith Britain, peers from from non-Christian faith traditions have been chosen to take part for the first time – but will only hold regalia that does not have explicit Christian motifs. The Archbishop says: “Receive this Robe. May the Lord clothe you with the robe of righteousness, and with the garments of salvation.”The Homage is followed by the Coronation of The Queen. Her Majesty will kneel at her Chair of Estate to be anointed on the head by The Archbishop of Canterbury. The Queen’s Ring will be presented to Her Majesty by the Keeper of the Jewel House, and Her Majesty will be crowned by the Archbishop with Queen Mary’s Crown. The former Bishop of London, Lord Chartres, and the Bishop of Dover, The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, will present Her Majesty with The Queen’s Sceptre with Cross and The Queen’s Rod with Dove. Escorted by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of Hereford and Norwich, and The Queen’s Companions, Her Majesty will be enthroned. A new Anthem, ‘Make a joyful noise’, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, will be sung by the choir. This is the monarch's "working crown", worn on formal occasions such as the state opening of parliament. Historic Royal Palaces explains: “Until 1649 the Coronation Regalia were kept at Westminster Abbey. In 1649, during the English Civil War, King Charles I was executed, and Parliament decided to sell off the late king’s goods. This was an early act of the republic, of which Oliver Cromwell would become Lord Protector in 1653.

The Monarch is invested with the Colobium Sindonis after the anointing. It takes the form of a white linen shift-like tunic, and a plain collar fastened with a single button, intended to represent a priests' alb. His Majesty The King will use the Colobium Sindonis worn at the Coronation of his grandfather King George VI in 1937, which was made by the robemakers Ede and Ravenscroft. News Big Read King Charles battling conflicting advice on how to make Royals more relevant Read More Sovereign’s Sceptre with the Cross Following this, the Archbishop of Canterbury will give a greeting from the High Altar, welcoming the congregation to the Service. The choir, joined by Sir Bryn Terfel, will sing the ‘Kyrie’, which will be sung in Welsh for the first time.The Queen was crowned in St Edward's Chair, made in 1300 for Edward I and used at every Coronation since that time. It is permanently kept in Westminster Abbey. The Glove is a demonstration of the sovereign as advocate and challenger for the protection and honour of the people. The sword is blessed by the Archbishop and presented to the King by Lord President of the Council Penny Mourdaunt – the first time the sword has been carried and presented by a woman. The anointing of the King with holy oil is the most sacred part of the ceremony. The gold Ampulla is shaped in the form of an eagle with outspread wings and is used to hold the consecrated oil. There is an opening in the beak for pouring the oil onto the Coronation Spoon.

Ede and Ravenscroft create hand-crafted bespoke robes and garments, using traditional skills, expertise and the finest textiles. The company has made robes and tailored garments for Royal, civic, legal and academic ceremonies in over forty countries around the world to date. For the first time, there is a preface to the coronation oath in which the Archbishop says the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment where people of all faiths and beliefs may live freely”.

Made by White, Allom and Company, in a seventeenth century style which in turn was based on X-framed Tudor stools. The Chairs were upholstered in crimson velvet and applied with the Royal Arms of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
