2023-05-05 13:23:44

The plans for King Charles’s coronation ceremony have been kept secret until tomorrow, but there are some details that have been revealed related to royal ceremonies and customs that many may not know about this event.

Who pays the costs?

• Unlike royal weddings, coronations are a formal event, which means that the government pays for it.
• Queen Elizabeth II’s party cost a total of £1.57 million, at the time.
• It is said that the King is planning a coronation ceremony that will be less expensive than his mother’s due to the cost of living crisis.
• The government is also responsible for the guest list.
• While more than 8,000 people attended the Queen’s coronation, it is expected that there will be 2,000 people at the King’s coronation, enough to fill Westminster Abbey without the need for additional seating.

Coronation Medal

• The king is also expected to award the coronation medal.
• After the Queen’s coronation, medals were awarded to more than 120,000 people, including members of the royal family, government officials, and members of the army, air force, navy and police.

Exit to the balcony

• Since 1902, the end of coronation day has been a balcony appearance for the new king and other members of the royal family.
• After Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, she appeared on the balcony six times to huge waiting crowds.
• The monarch will appear on the balcony after his coronation, accompanied by Queen Camilla, and is likely to be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.

Music

• Coronations usually feature a full orchestra and one or even two choirs.
• The choir consists of a variety of community choirs and amateur singers from across the UK.

Coronation Honor

• It is customary for the king to bestow honors on the occasion of his coronation.
• Buckingham Palace has yet to release details of plans for a list of honors to celebrate the king’s coronation.
• It will be King Charles’ second honor, following the first four months after the death of Queen Elizabeth.
