The upcoming coronation of King Charles III on May 6 will feature many of the longstanding traditions of the British monarchy. One of the most visible is a parade called "The King's Procession," taking Charles III and the Queen Consort Camilla from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. The centerpiece of this procession is the Gold State Coach, which has been used for every coronation dating back to the reign of Queen Victoria.
To commemorate the event, Mattel Creations is offering a limited edition 1:64 scale replica of the Gold State Coach, complete with eight white horses and a team of coachmen. While the original coach is made from Giltwood, a combination of thin gold leaf over wood, the replica is die-cast. It features working wheels and an articulated front axle, and the horses and harnesses are removable. The coach's interior includes fixed figurines of the King and Queen Consort.
