- čas přidán 1. 05. 2023
- The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 6 May 2023, at Westminster Abbey. Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II.
Compared with previous coronations, the ceremony will undergo some alterations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom, and will be shorter than his mother's coronation in 1953. The ceremony will begin with the anointing of Charles, symbolising his spiritual entry into kingship, and then his crowning and enthronement, representing his assumption of temporal powers and responsibilities. Camilla will be crowned in a shorter and simpler ceremony. The royal family will travel to Buckingham Palace afterward, in a state procession, and appear on the balcony to celebrate the occasion.
In addition to the coronation ceremony, the event will be marked by public ceremonies and celebrations in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the British Crown Dependencies and overseas territories. On 7 May, the Coronation Big Lunch will take place in the United Kingdom, providing the public with the opportunity to mark the occasion with street parties. Also a Coronation Concert will be held on the same day at Windsor Castle with representatives of the King and Queen's charities as well as members of the general public in attendance. The Big Help Out initiative will take place on 8 May, to encourage community service and volunteering. Both the coronation at Westminster Abbey and the concert at Windsor Castle will be broadcast on television and streamed online.
This will be the first coronation of a British monarch in the 21st century, and the 40th to be held at Westminster Abbey since that of William the Conqueror in 1066.

Absolutely fascinated, just can't wait for the big day
God save the King
Same! Although I believe it will be about 2am for myself so I need to get crafty on how to watch this live. Very excited!
I saw the coronation of Queen Elizabeth on a TV that my Dad bought especially for the occasion. It had a 9" screen and many of our Neighbours came to our house to watch it
It’s going to be a real spectacle, but also it’s a very sacred pact between His Majesty and God. The part when the choir sing Zadok the Priest is such a awe inspiring moment. You will have to watch and you will see what I mean.
Very much looking forward to it, Dawn! I'll absolutely be watching it, although it's at 2am (I believe) for myself so I'll need to find out how to watch it live.
I'm 76 so I have lived under George VI, Elizabeth II and now Charles III
That's incredible! Many of my family members are around the same age, however, they're not British. Close-ish I suppose with ancestry, maybe? Thanks for this comment, Roger :)
I remember watching the Queens Coronation it went on for hours but very interesting. The King is trying to keep the costs down as much as possible and the length of the ceremony is going to be shorter. The security costs will obviously be high. There are people already camping out on the procession route!!
The Royal Family are eternally and acutely aware of public sentiment on a wide range of important issues, the cost of their existence being uppermost. This is evident in the curtailing of the formal Crowning service at the Abbey to a single hour. I am an ardent Royalist and am grateful for the stability and strong sense of national identity and belonging the monarchy brings to the country. Presidents come and go and are easily forgotten. Kings and Queens live on for eternity in our hearts and minds. £100m for this rare and joyous spectacle is a piffling sum compared to the hundreds of billions wasted on our former membership of the EU for almost nothing in return.
The Princes’s Trust helps and supports so many deprived families even helping ex Prisoners to run their own businesses etc he is very caring and since the 1970s has always put the environment at the forefront even his car , The king and the Queen are very much in love , and I am sure if Diana had lived she would have enjoyed the day with a new husband and been very proud of Prince William .
A lot of people come to Britain hoping to see our caring Royal family thus bringing a lot of money and happiness to 🇬🇧 the UK.
👍👏🙂🏴
Your assumption of the pay off in tourism is correct. It is a shame a few more people who live here couldn’t grasp that as quickly. Let’s not forget that the King has done more through the Prince’s Trust for people in poverty that the majority of politicians. Yet those same people wish to do away with a monarch and have a more powerful self serving politician. Go figure.
You are quite right in everything you say. The independent Consumer Research Council has estimated that the hospitality industry, over the three day weekend, will contribute £1.4 billion to the UK economy.
Quite mind blowing really. Such a historic occasion. Whether you're a Monarchist or not, this is 'living in history' as you said. My Mother camped out in London on the pavement with fellow students to see the late Queen's Coronation. She's 92 years of age. She also stayed up to see the Funeral of the late Queen.
It was interesting to note that in her 92 years of life, she started out singing 'God Save The King' as a youngster in school in Ceylon, then heard 'God save The Queen' for the duration of the late Queen's 50 plus year reign, and is alive to hear the Anthem revert back to 'God Save The King', all in her lifetime. All of us with older parents are living with history books. My Dad's 90 years of age. We really should take note of their recollections. When their generation is gone, we've lost that history, not just in our families, but in society too. I felt the same way when my Grandparents died, especially my Grandmother (paternal) who had this incredible memory for historical details. I think that's why Queen Elizabeth II's passing struck me so surprisingly hard, as my Grandmother's death did.. She represented history and way of life, service and duty that very few people other than members of the Monarchy, religious figures etc seem to abide by. They stand out as a result.
God Bless the late Queen, RIP. God give His Grace to the current Monarchy and the King, Britain and the Commonwealth. This is historic.
I was really touched by your comment. I was greatly upset when the Queen died, as I thought of her as my second mother ( my mum died when I was 31). I never had grandparents ( all killed in WW1). I'm 70, so the timeline makes sense to you.
The Queens platinum jubilee celebrations brought in over £1billion, and I guess the Coronation will bring in even more. Seems its worth it.
Now that is a massive number! Will be interesting to hear all about it, and how many people watch it live.
The estimated amount of funds from tourism is £1 BILLION, no contest! But it is so much MORE than a spectacle. The tradition and ritual are beyond compare anywhere else in the world. LONG LIVE THE KING,
Long may he reign 🏴🇬🇧
The king recently donated 1 billion quid from windfarm revenue to the treasury so its already covered
@@TheTaffia His estate is turning over 100% of the profits to the state made from his windfarms. What's your problem with that exactly? I understand people like yourself will always look to criticise but it's a real stretch to see anything negative about this.
He's a wholesaler of electricity with no say in the cost that the elctricity he supplies is sold at. It's traded on the markets where the price is dictated which then goes into the grid where suppliers sell it to us.
@@TheTaffia Wrong😅
Recent comments say it will last about 2 hours. I wish they wouldn’t try to value these jewels, £6.5 million for St Edwards crown - come on, that’s the price of a large house in London! Let’s just say they are priceless and leave it at that 😮
Some people are already camping out.
The amount of things being reused by the King in his coronation is very much a symbol of today. The cost is likely to be nearer £250m - but most of that will be used up in security costs. Overall the King is very much focusing on today's issues. Pretty much everything is being re-used, robes, jewels, gloves, etc - all re-used from previous coronations. All the crowns are being re-used - including The Queen's - which previously was made new for each new consort. The service is shorter than his mother's Coronation, the route is shorter, the number of those attending is at least half the number then that of 1953 - Importantly 850 of them are from the community and charity sector. I am a person free of faith, so the religious bit is just fancy words - important to others, but no to me. (So I don't say "God Save The King" - I simply use "Long Live the King"). As a British person, this is one of the things we simply do best in the world... there is no-one that comes close, even the Catholic Church! - I hope the world watches and enjoys a moment of history - unique to today and the world we live in, with a healthy dose of over 1000 years of history.
They've always been reused. Nothing to do with 'today'. The Screen is new because the old one was falling to bits. The Coronation Chairs, Crown Jewels, Sceptre and Orb are historic. Health & Safety Rules have limited the 'safe number' of guests to 2,000 and security has made the route shorter. Note that the Monarchs between Queen's Victoria and Elizabeth II had shorter ceremonies too - and coincidentally are Kings like Charles is! The late Queen's Crown was 'new' because the original was broken - but the jewels weren't new.
8000 people attended the Coronation in 1953. Altogether, I think King Charles has just 2000.
@@no-oneinparticular7264 Thanks to Health and Safety Rules!
There are people camping out along the Royal route already
Love your comments
I heard today that Queen Elizabeth's recent Platinum Jubilee brought £6 billion. We have had several of those, so a Coronation - the first in 70 years - who can say what the figure will be.
He needs to read the history on the Koh i Noor diamond. "seized by the British during colonial occupation"
This was not seized but a part of a treaty at Lahore.
. Article III of the treaty read:
The gem called the Koh-i-Noor, which was taken from Shah Sooja-ool-moolk by Maharajah Ranjeet Singh, shall be surrendered by the Maharajah of Lahore to the Queen of England.
Before the Shah stole it, it was owned (stolen) by the Afghans, Iranians, the Moghul empire, Uzbekistan and the Kakatiyas dynasty.
Maybe the British are guilty of receiving stolen goods though!
wxactly right, but ofc according to the woke, things are only stolen when its done by white people.. thefts by others are excused, "reparations" etc ... :P
Ancient history and no written proof of ownership to date. Lots of countries still laying claim to it today.
The diamond that causes such controversy was actually given as a gift to the Monarchy by India. It has had a colourful life and several countries have sought to claim ownership.
Btw, Useful Charts' video about the Coronation is also a good one, it has more information that wasn't mentioned in this one
I'll absolutely check it out now! Useful Charts is very clear and to the point, have reacted to one of their videos previously and enjoyed it. Plus learned much.
The latest timetable indicates the ceremony will be two hours.
I have heard the ring which is only ever worn/used at The Coronation will be presented to Charles but he isn't going to wear it, I think it was something to do with having to have it resized. So the ring alongside the ring Camilla would also wear I understand will be carried on a velvet cushion rather than worn on this occasion.
Thank you, Susan!
It's nowhere near 100 million. That includes the cost of the state coach (which is already owned), the cost of police and armed forces (who are already paid for). The cost of the horses (already owned). The cost of the aircraft from the RAF (which we already own). The actual cost in reality is only 7-10 million as all the assets are already 'paid for' as its all state resources.
The ring is either for the ceremony only or only state occasions HM The Queen wasn’t seen wearing the ring in any footage on tv.
Thanks, Chris!
Youre completely correct when it comes to the cost. The UK makes a profit from the RF every year. £100 million would have been paid off long ago.
What are your plans to watch the coronation?
TV with family or friends? Going in person to watch in a specific location? I wish I could be there!
I have to work that day. Would of loved to of watch it live. Never mind.
As I'm a widow in my 70s I will be watching every second at home on my TV. Can't wait !!! God Save the King! ❤
I will be too.hope you have a wonderful day .😢few tears i bet.!.
@@alisonrandall3039 I will watch it for you and cheer twice as loud.
@@jillosler9353 Me too, and I'm 70 too 😂
no the king only wears the ring during the coronation. The cost is low when compared to the money that will flow into the country by tourism.
Thank you, Sandra! I'm sure there will be a numbers breakdown of the money spent and regained during and after the coronation. Should be interesting! Can't imagine how much money this will bring in, and how many will watch it live.
There is a magnificent video on the ' military bands everywhere ' channel of all the coronation bands returning over Waterloo Bridge to waterloo station post Coronation. I found itvery moving 🇺🇸✌️🇬🇧
People have started camping out along the mall. Five days before the Coronation.
I love this channel♥
Diamond Jubilee State Coach has electric windows, heating and hydraulic stabilisers. The Coach is also made of aluminium and has air conditioning.
Regarding the cost of the coronation and the cost of the monarchy,it costs the uk about £33m to look after the monarchy and it costs the US approximately 1.4 billion dollars to look after the president
Whatever the cost...worth every penny 🙂
Coverage of Coronation starts at 5am EST time on CNN, BBC America, ABC etc etc
Thanks! 2am for myself in that case... hmmm... unfortunate but I may find a way. Apparently only one hour long so not that bad, and on a weekend.
In the summer ,London gets £1 billion in tourist money.
I understand that King Harold was the first to be coronated at Westminster Abbey in 1066.
Crowned
Your point about the price tag of the coronation being returned to the British people is a very good one. The Labour party (British republicans) try to ignore this fact, always claiming how costly Royalty is, forgetting not just the heritage, but the payback it brings the U.K. Tourism being just a tip of the iceberg...
I really want to watch it, but I'm working 😩
The Coach is 29 feet long and 12 feet high. Just an interesting factoid for you from me .
no the king will not ware the ring all the time its for the coronation the queen also gets one for her coronation its great to be British thousands go to see it in person and millions watch on tv then a party in the afternoon well into the night sleep repeat the next day so proud this is happening in my country
The sovereign's ring
The "wedding ring of England" is also called the coronation ring and is a symbol of "kingly dignity".
William IV's ring of 1831 features a large sapphire and diamond cluster with baguette-cut rubies in the form of a cross.
It will be presented to the King by Lord Patel.
Instead of having the ring put on the fourth finger of his right hand as is the custom, the King acknowledges it instead.
The archbishop says: "Receive this ring, a symbol of kingly dignity, and a sign of the covenant sworn this day between God and King, King and people.
The ring is returned to the altar.
I imagine they won't try and squeeze the ring onto his sausage finger
@@lewis123417 You do know that rings can be resized, right? If they work on the crown to make it fit him, fitting the ring should not be a problem. Every jeweller can do that.
@@insulanerin7601 very true.....I wonder why he's decided not to wear it
Thank you Catherine for this information! Sums up a lot of my questions about the wedding ring of England :)
Why are colonial English speakers incapable of pronouncing Monarch? The pronunciation is mo-nuhk
ask them to pronounce Edinburgh and Worcestershire.. :D
@@coling3957 or Warwick
You woo'd at the worth of St Edward's Crown, but what they didn't say on this video is that the Imperial State Crown is worth between 3 - 5 Billion pounds, yes BILLION. That's the crown that was atop HMQE2's coffin in the funeral procession.
I sure did woo at it! And 3-5 billion?! I remember the exact crown you're talking about which went atop her coffin during that moment. Incredible! I'll have to look it up and do some research into everything that went into this crown. Impressive!
@@californianreacts It also puts the procession in to another light, most people think that the members of HM's Armed forces were guarding her coffin, nah, they were guarding the Imperial State Crown first, coffin second.
The Koh-i-Noor Diamond is a diamond with a curse affecting only men. According to folklore, a Hindu description of the diamond warns that “he who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God or woman can wear it with impunity.”
I am a royalist and very much for the Coronation, but I will startle people by also declaring that I'm a Socialist and on the left wing of the Labour Party!
I hate modern capitalism, but I think why the monarchy still has so much popularity in the UK is because it harks back to older, better, theories of authority: the ancient principle of "Noblesse Oblige" [nobility has obligations]; your feudal Lord had obligations to you as well as to him. (A relic of this was in case of riot. If there was property damage in a riot, the King and his Government paid compensation, because they hadn't protected you. The Metropolitan Police desperately tried to wriggle out of this after riots in London in 2011.)
And there's plenty of money - or there would be if this Conservative Government wasn't letting huge companies and the extremely rich get away with avoiding/evading huge amounts of tax! The national budget is of the order of £700-£800 thousand million, and the tax avoided could easily be £200, 000, 000, 000.
The Coronation has been cut short by cutting short the Homage. In the old days every single noble paid homage. (Because the poor boy was only nine, the Coronation of Edward VI in 1547 was cut down from eleven hours to seven!) In 1953, only the senior noble in each degree paid Homage.
Apparently, we will be asked to say our Homage, if we want it, at home watching. I don't really approve; it's the powerful people in the country who should pay Homage.
I genuinely believe that, secretly, the Right Wing are trying to get rid of the monarchy. Their papers seem to be trying to stir it as much as they possibly can.
Charles has the option of a "cut price" Coronation more fitting to the stark poverty and wealth inequality in our society today, but he said no to that. The excuses for offsetting the gigantic taxpayer cost of this event are legion. "it'll be mostly security costs" or "it'll bring in more revenue from tourism and merchandising" but the fact is, no one will ever know the real truth of the cost. Nor what the revenue benefits actually are for the country, any more than the British people will ever know exactly how much land, money and power the Royal Family truly have. They've done a good job being quite secretive about that over the years. Did you know that the British Government are rushing through draconian anti-protest laws, coincidentally directly ahead of the Coronation, because a number of peaceful anti-monarchy protests are planned. Just watch those protesters carted off in handcuffs by police because they had the effrontery not to agree with the royalist hysteria of this giant waste of money which the taxpayer is paying for - not the billionaire royals, or the political establishment that is behind this. We may as well bring back a host of medieval practices because 21st century Britain is now grandly marching back to the Middle Ages. Or live in Putin's Russia, given how anti democratic and authoritarian it has become. A cautionary note. Enjoy the Coronation and support Charles as your King if you choose. No one is stopping you. After all it's a free country, isn't it? And don't forget that oath of allegiance! Peasants everywhere will salute you.
It has not mentioned the stone of scorn
SCONE
@@optimist3580 Yes, pronounced Scoon but as it now lives in Scotland once more, Stone of Scorn is a pretty good name for it.
The working royals are funded by the Crown Estate's own income. There is an agreement with Governemnt as to how much of the yearly income goes towards funding working royals and their staff and palace maintenance and palace operations. There is a lump sum basic grant plus a percentage share of the rest of the Crown Estate income. With building maintenace, the royals may get 200million and the government gets about 400million. But last year, the green energy investmentbearned so much that the King invited the government to take the windfall to apply towards relief payments for people who cannot afford energy bills. So the entire cost of the coronation is covered by the Crown Estate in a normal year let alone after the green investment reward. In 1000 years this is onlybthe 40th coronation. UsA has had more inaugurations in a mere 250 years than britainbhas had coronations in a 1000 years.
Indifferent. +1 for his lifetime of environmentalism, which is more than the next vapid couple in line. Not going to be declaring my allegiance, which is a new thing this time. 🇬🇧
it was a suggestion by the Archbishop of Canterbury, apparently, not King Charles.
As an Englishman, I will not be participating in this vile ceremony. Not my king.
Unfortunately he is, wether you like it or not!
Vile for what reason ? GOD SAVE THE KING AND LONG MAY THE MONARCHY REIGN !
