Openness to a multi-ethnic and religious society in the new details on the coronation, together with the display of royal robes. Vickers: William’s bow to the King and then the chorus of the People, instead of the aristocrats. And the Windsor family, I believe, will not wear tiaras
And 14-year-old boy, Samuel Strachan Veteran choristers at Chapel Royal (next to St James’s Palace) will welcome to Westminster on 6 May the oldest King ever, Charles with his 74 years. Who will have the solemn on his shoulders Robe of State and the magnificent Robe of Estate. Multiplied by two. Because they will be worn by King Charles and Queen Camilla on May 6 for the coronation at Westminster Abbey. But as far as I know, no glittering tiaras on the heads of the other Windsors at the abbey, al anticipates Courier from London the historian of the Windsors, Hugo Vickers is closest to the new Duke of Edinburgh, Edward (as he was until the end to Philip) and the Duke of Kent, in the first line of the Royal Windsors.
The Robe of State are long cloaks that will caress the millenary stones of the floor of Westminster Abbey, accompanying the entry of the King and Queen into the church for the rite. The Robes of Estate, not to be confused, are the cloaks that the King and Queen will wear when they leave the abbey. The role of the Pages – including the little prince and heir to the throne George, after dad William – will be precisely that of holding up those long mantles symbol of royalty which are being taken care of by the hands of the embroiderers of the Royal School of Needlework whose 2017, the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla, henceforth, Queen, became the patron saint.
By the way, Charles’s two coats will be the ones worn by King George VI in 1937. While Camilla will wear the one used by Queen Elizabeth herself in 1953 at the entrance and at the exit from the church a new cloak created for her and where – homage to her husband’s passion for the environment – bees and other insects will also be embroidered for the first time in addition to the flowers that are dear to the new King. The solemnity of velvet, everything according to tradition, in short, without sparing an ounce of anachronistically seductive splendour. Even if below Carlo will have his military uniform and Queen Camilla is a dress entrusted to the designer of the heart who has already dressed her for the gala dinner in the first state visit to Germany, Bruce Oldfield (who was also Lady Diana’s favorite who had the merit of discovering it).
Buckingham Palace has just unveiled photos of two of the mantles solemn coronation. And together some indications on the novelty that – this time under the symbolic cloak of tradition – will creep into the coronation also filter through. The King’s solemn oath will be introduced by the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury who will address people of all faiths and religions, just as he had always said he wanted to imagine his coronation of King Charles: open to a world of a thousand religious facets. Moreover, King Charles will speak, pray, during the rite: the first time this has happened in the history of London coronations.
And the ancient homage with bow, and kiss on the cheek of the King from the Royal Dukesin short, the dukes of the Crown and at the time of Victory even of all the Peers of the Kingdom before the new King there will be. But it will be a choir in unison of those present in the abbey and we know that half of them invited will be exponents dthe charities, civil society and deserving for their voluntary works
to swear allegiance to the King.
In the ceremony a reading will also be entrusted to the Hindu, Rishi Sunakthe prime minister.
Only the son and heir to the throne, William s’inchiner al padre, promising him eternal loyalty. It was speculated that William could have the role of his grandfather Philip as chairman of the coronation committee, the queen had always tried to involve Philip by entrusting him with that role even if little followed due to disagreements with the other organizers. But in this case a Coronation Committee was not really created. William as heir will instead pay homage, kneeling, in front of his father, explains Vickers. Speaking of Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh played a key role for: he opened the abbey to the eye of the camera. But we will not see the sacred anointing of King Charles which will be shielded by a screen. Instead we will see in the light of the sun, or rather in front of the cameras, that of Queen Camilla. This time there will be dozens of cameras, including one on the ceiling, and to say that in Elizabeth’s time there was only one, notes Vickers.
About the Windsors at the ceremony, nothing is known so far how the Windsors will be dressed: should we wait for them in long dress and tiaras or in civilian clothes? As far as I know, no glittering tiaras on the heads of the other Windsors in the abbey. But as far as I know no glittering tiaras on the heads of the other Windsors in the abbey, although I had hoped that the ladies of the Windsor family would dress in full gown and tiara as they had been at the coronation of Elizabeth II. So we will not see Princess Kate, Sophie Duchess of Edinburgh and the others in a long dress and tiara on their heads. And the princes, William, Edward probably in uniform.
