King Charles is crowned at the first coronation in history to take place in 70 years as he formally assumes the title of His Majesty.Today's historic first Coronation in 70 years saw the official coronation of King Charles III.The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, gave him his coronation in London's Westminster Abbey.
While seated in the Coronation Chair and holding the Sceptre with Cross in his gloved right hand and the Sceptre with Dove in his gloved left hand, the monarch was crowned. St. Edward's Crown, which was made in 1661 and will only be worn during the ceremony, was used to crown him.The Westminster Abbey bells rung for two minutes after the crown was put on his head.
King Charles was then escorted from the Coronation Chair to the throne.Before the crowning, King Charles was presented with the coronation regalia.He was first presented with the spurs, which "symbolize knighthood," followed by the Sword of Offering; two armills made of gold, known as "bracelets of sincerity and wisdom;" the Coronation Orb, "symbolising the Christian world" with three sides representing the three continents known during medieval times; and the Sovereign’s Ring, representing commitment and is not worn during the ceremony.Charles then was presented with the coronation glove, the same one his mother wore during her coronation, representing him as advocate and challenger for the protection of the people. He was then given the sovereign’s sceptre with cross which represents "the sovereign's temporal power," and the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Dove, which represents "the sovereign’s spiritual role."
