Princess Anne's Coronation Role and Monarchy Debate.
Princess Anne will be the Gold-Stick-in-Waiting at her brother King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation, a role entrusted with the monarch’s personal safety on the big day. She will ride on horseback behind the royal couple's carriage following the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and lead 6,000 armed services personnel through the streets of London in the Coronation Procession. The Gold-Stick-in-Waiting role dates back to the 15th century and would see the monarch protected by two rods made of gold and silver.
