“England Prepares for Large-Scale Rehearsed Event on May 6th with Thousands in Attendance”
Preparations Underway for King Charles III’s Coronation
As May 6 approaches, preparations are underway for the coronation of King Charles III of England. A rehearsal for the ceremony was held in London last night, with soldiers marching around Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace – the route of the royal procession.
Westminster Abbey, Big Ben Clock Tower, and Parliament House – where King Charles will be crowned – were illuminated with projected images to commemorate the royal family as part of the coronation preparations.
During the ceremony, King Charles III will wear a Supertunica, a gold robe made for King George V in 1911 and used at every coronation since then. The caftan, weighing approximately 2 kilograms, is made with gold embroidery techniques and embroidered with spiral threads forming leaf branches. King Charles III will also wear a white leather glove on his right hand, which he’ll use to hold the monarch’s scepter during his coronation.
Several world-renowned artists, including Paloma Faith, Steve Winwood, Olly Murs, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Nicole Scherzinger, are scheduled to perform at King Charles III’s coronation ceremony. Around 20 thousand people are expected to attend the event, with world leaders and important political figures also invited.
Prince Harry, who left his royal duties in 2021 and settled in the USA, announced that he would attend the ceremony alone and Meghan Markle would not attend. King Charles III’s coronation coincides with the 4th birthday of Harry and Meghan’s son, Prince Archie. Other members of the Royal family, including Prince William of Wales and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, and King Charles III’s sisters Princess Anne and Prince Edward, will attend the ceremony.
