It has been announced that the King's coronation is planned to take place on Saturday, May 6 next year.
As part of the ceremony, Charles III will be blessed by the Archbishop and given a number of key items that symbolise his position as monarch of the United Kingdom. These items make up a core part of the monarchy and, each in its own way, represents an aspect of the sheer power and responsibility of becoming sovereign.
Furthermore, each item in the Crown Jewels collection is priceless due to its significance in the coronation. However, due to the rarity that the public actually sees these items, many may be unfamiliar with their history and importance in relation to the Crown.
