TL;DR

King Charles III's coronation will feature three crowns, an orb, scepters, golden bracelets, two maces, and five swords. The procession route will be shorter than his mother's, Queen Elizabeth II, but the pomp and regalia will remain. The Gold State Coach, used to transport every newly crowned monarch since King William IV in 1831, will be used after the ceremony. Charles and Camilla will travel to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which has power windows, air conditioning, and shock absorbers.
