At the coronation, all the Crown Jewels were displayed in a triumph of gold, diamonds and gems. But they will be entrusted to exponents of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society

Buckingham Palace has just announced the name of who will have the honor of parading the Crown Jewels down the nave of Westminster Abbey on 6 May which will be part of the coronation rite.

Crowns, sceptres, rings, bracelets and even ritual spurs. Rely on Baronesses, Dames and Lords. But the title should not mislead, it is not the usual and historical aristocracy of the Kingdom. Few peers have inherited the title for generations. carlo has chosen nurses such as Dame Elizabeth Anionwu and TV presenters of children’s programs such as Baroness Benjamin. It’s still actors like Delaval Astley and a former director of Homeland Intelligence, MI5 as Baroness Manningham-Buller.

In short, true to its promise of a coronation rooted in tradition but reflecting current society, 6 May 2023 will be a triumph of historical splendour, with all the Regalia the Crown Jewels in the global spotlight. But the ancient rite will be entrusted to women and men of the new United Kingdom.

Less “hereditary”, more meritocratic (baronesses who deserved that title rather than inherited it) and more multi-ethnic. Multi-ethnic and multi-religious, just like Charles when he was Prince of Wales he always made it clear that he wanted to imagine his future coronation.

So there will be four personalities – four Peers of the Kingdom expression of Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Jewish faith – charged with presenting as many jewels to the King kept at the Tower of London. Not only that, but there will also be a procession of faiths inside the Anglican abbey: religious of other religions who will parade down the aisle.

Speaking of the Tower of London, the ancient fortress once inhabited as a palace and then an armored sacristy where jewels have slept over the centuries, it will be its Governor, General Sir Gordon Messenger to have the highest honor during the coronation rite: wearing the crown of St Edward the Confessor. The crown with which Charles will become King.
