King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday (6), becoming the 12th monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain since its formation in 1707 with the union of England, Scotland and Wales.
Charles replaces his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on the throne, who died on September 8 last year.
A series of religious rituals will mark the coronation inside Westminster Abbey. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will lead the ceremony, which will be attended by heads of state and foreign dignitaries.
After the end of the ceremony in the Abbey, the already crowned King Charles III will go to a chapel to change the golden robe for a purple one, and replace the Crown of St. Edward’s by the Imperial State Crown. But what was the reason for the switch?
The Crown of St. Edward is one of the main highlights of the event, as it is used at the exact moment when the king is crowned.
