This coronation procession will follow the same route but be much larger in scale than the one preceding the coronation service. Following the service, King Charles and Queen Camilla will be conveyed back to the palace in the Gold State Coach, which has been used in every coronation since William IV in 1831. A dazzling collection of sacred regalia usually kept in the Tower of London will be presented to Charles during the ceremony, formalizing his metamorphosis from prince to monarch.

"You know what you're getting because he's been practising for a bit, and I don't think he'll change," the Princess Royal said. She added that the public shouldn’t expect any surprises from her brother’s reign.

The ceremony on May 6 - conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby - takes place at London’s Westminster Abbey, Britain’s coronation church since 1066. In recent years, we’ve witnessed the pageantry of royal weddings and jubilee celebrations, but few will be familiar with the coronation rubric, some of which has remained unchanged for more than a thousand years.
