King Charles’ Coronation is around the corner and rumours are in the air that Queen Consort Camilia will wear a ‘Kohinoor’ studded crown. But as per the latest news, Camilia won’t be wearing the ‘expected crown’. Buckingham Palace took to its Instagram account to announce the news, adding that Camilla will instead be wearing a recycled crown. Camilla, the Queen Consort, will be crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, which has been taken out from the Tower of London to be resized for the coronation on 6 May.“The Crown will be worn by The Queen Consort, which is the first time in recent history that an existing crown will be used for the Coronation of a Consort instead of a new commission being made.”
“In tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Crown will be reset with the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds. The diamonds were part of Queen Elizabeth II’s personal jewellery collection for many years and were often worn by Her late Majesty as brooches…” the statement concluded. As per the plans, the coronation of King Charles and her Queen Consort, Camilla will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6 May, 2023. Among the highlights: a star-studded concert at Windsor Castle, a nationwide series of street parties and a national volunteering campaign, branded “The Big Help Out.” “Buckingham Palace is pleased to announce further details on the ceremonial, celebratory and community events that will take place over the Coronation Weekend between Saturday 6th and Monday 8th May 2023,” read the press release by Buckingham Palace.
“The Service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. As previously announced, the Service will reflect the Monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry,” read Buckingham Palace’s release.
Across the Coronation Weekend, there will be further opportunities for people to come together in celebration of the historic occasion.
