King Charles' coronation cross to feature relic from Christ's crucifixion.

King Charles III's coronation procession in London next month will be led by a silver cross containing a piece of the True Cross, believed by some to be a fragment of the cross on which Christ was crucified. The monarch commissioned the incorporation of the fragment into the newly created Cross of Wales, which he presented to the Church in Wales as a gift to mark its centenary. The cross will officially be received by the Church in Wales at a service following the coronation, and it will be shared between the nation's Anglican and Catholic churches.
