"New Details Revealed for King Charles' Coronation: Coaches, Crowns, and Crown Jewels"

King Charles III will have a shorter and less extravagant coronation ceremony than his mother's in 1953, but will still feature ancient traditions and royal regalia. The procession route will be trimmed, and the king and queen consort will ride in a horse-drawn gilded black Diamond Jubilee State Coach with modern amenities. The ceremony will include the use of priceless coronation regalia, including five symbolic swords, two scepters, and the St. Edward's Crown. The newly crowned king and queen will return to Buckingham Palace in the 260-year-old Gold State Coach, known for its notoriously rough ride.
