"Unveiling the Spectacle: King Charles III's Coronation in Modern Times"
TL;DR Summary
King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey in a five-act drama with a script more medieval morality play than 21st century. The coronation was a dazzling visual feast with all the sartorial splendour that could be mustered on display. The props were magnificent: swords of justice and mercy, rods, crowns, spurs, rings, bracelets. The ceremony was infused with a smattering of Welsh, Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic, the Ascension choir, and even a Byzantine chant.
