The coronation ceremony of King Charles of England will be held in the capital city of London on the 6th. It is a historic ceremony that has lasted for more than 1000,70 years to celebrate the enthronement of a new monarch, and while some young generations have questioned the monarchy, it will be a simpler and more diverse ceremony than when Queen Elizabeth <> years ago took place.

King Charles, who ascended to the throne last September following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, will attend his coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London with Queen Camilla at 9pm Japan hour on June 6.

At the ceremony, King Charles swore an oath to rule the United Kingdom and the 7 Commonwealth countries of which he is head of state, and was crowned with the blessing of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the highest clergyman of the Church of England.

In the United Kingdom, the soaring cost of living due to record inflation and the King's second son, Prince Harry, said that racist remarks were made in the royal family, and some young people questioned the monarchy, and in last month's poll, 14% of 18- to 24-year-olds answered that they "support the monarchy." It fell below 32% of Republicans.

The attendance at the ceremony was reduced to about 38,2200, nearly one-quarter of Queen Elizabeth's time, and the route between the royal couple and his wife by horse-drawn carriage between Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey has been greatly shortened, which seems to be aimed at keeping costs down.

In addition, representatives of various races and non-Christian religions also participate in the ceremony and play a major role.

As the monarchy's raison d'être is questioned, the simplicity and diversity of the coronation is a demonstration of the determination of King Charles, the new "face of Britain," to change both at home and abroad.

What is Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey, where the coronation ceremony will be held, is a church related to the British royal family, located about 1 km from Buckingham Palace in central London.

It has traditionally been the site of the coronation of successive kings and queens, and in 1953 it was the venue for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth.

It is a place where important ceremonies for the royal family have been held, including the funeral of Princess Diana and the wedding of Prince William.

Last September, it was also in Westminster Abbey that Queen Elizabeth's state funeral was held.

The temple is an indispensable structure in telling the history of England, where important figures who moved the country and society of England, such as Newton, the scientist who discovered the law of universal gravitation, and the writer Charles Dickens, are buried.

Westminster Abbey is known for its beautiful ceiling arches, which are over 9 metres high.

According to the temple's website, the height of the tower is about 30 meters and the total floor area is about 70 square meters.

It can accommodate about 3000,2000 people.

The temple is in the shape of a cross when viewed from above, and the coronation ceremony takes place in the center of the temple, where the crosses meet.

Invitees and attendees

For the coronation of King Charles, the British royal family announced that it had invited more than 2200,3 people from Japan and abroad.

Representatives of the British royal family include the King's eldest son, Prince William, the King's sister, Princess Anne, and his brother, Prince Edward.

His younger son, Prince Harry, who retired from royal duties three years ago and now lives in the United States, will also attend, the British royal family has revealed.

Meanwhile, his wife, Meghan, will be absent.

Prince William's eldest son, Prince George, 9, will serve as the 'Page of Honour' alongside seven boys to carry the long robe of the King.

Prime Minister Sunak, British ministers and members of Parliament will also attend, while representatives of 7 countries, including about 100 heads of state, will attend the British royal family.

According to announcements and media reports from various countries, royal family members including relatives of the British royal family such as King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands, King Gustav of Sweden, and King Philip VI of Spain are scheduled to attend.

British media have reported that inviting a king from another country to a coronation ceremony is unusual, and that it will "break away from the 900-year-old tradition".

From the Japan Imperial Family, Prince Akishino and his wife will attend.

In addition, from the member countries of the British Commonwealth called "Commonwealth", Prime Minister Albanesy of Australia and Prime Minister Hipkins of New Zealand are expected to attend.

Other major foreign leaders are expected to attend the meeting as President von der Leyen and President Michel of the EU=European Union, President Macron of France, President Duda of Poland, and President Lula of Brazil.

In addition, representatives from a wide range of countries are expected to be sent from the United States, including First Lady Jill Biden in place of President Biden, and Vice President Han Jeong who took office from China.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that it has not sent invitations to the leaders of Russia, Belarus, Iran and Myanmar.

In addition, 450 people have been invited to the coronation ceremony for their charitable achievements, such as helping local people during the lockdown caused by the spread of the new coronavirus.

According to the BBC, this includes a couple in their 70s who ran a business delivering food to London households, and a boy who lived in a tent in his garden for three years and called for donations to the hospice, raising more than 3 million yen in Japan yen.

The crown bestowed upon you at the coronation is

The crown bestowed upon King Charles at his coronation is the "Crown of St. Edward", one of the treasures called "regalia" that symbolizes the throne of the British royal family.

The "Crown of St. Edward" was made in 1661 and has traditionally been worn only at coronations.

According to the British royal family, the crown frame is made of pure gold and adorned with large jewels such as rubies, amethysts, sapphires and garnets, while the cross and jewel at the top symbolize the Christian world.

It is about 30 cm tall and weighs about 2 kg.

It is housed in the Tower of London, where royal treasures are kept, but the size has been adjusted since December last year in preparation for the coronation of King Charles.

At the end of the coronation, King Charles will traditionally wear the "British Crown" instead of the "Crown of St. Edward".

The "British Empire Crown" is also one of the "regalia" that symbolizes the throne of the British royal family, and the current crown was created in 12.

According to the royal family, the crown is adorned with about 1937,3000 jewels, and the 317-carat diamond in the center is a precious piece cut from the world's largest rough, the Cullinan.

Queen Elizabeth II wore it at coronations and at the opening of the British Parliament, and when the Queen died, the crown was also attached to the casket that was laid to rest.

In addition, the crown worn by Queen Camilla at the coronation ceremony will be worn by Queen Mary, the great-grandmother of King Charles, in 1911.

According to the royal family, this is the first time since the 18th century that a queen has used an existing crown, and it was "chosen for sustainability and efficiency".

The crown was also embedded with one of the world's largest diamonds, called "kohinoor", which was said to have been taken from India in the 19th century, and there was a dispute over ownership.

Therefore, this coronation ceremony will replace this diamond with a diamond that Queen Elizabeth loved during her lifetime.

What is the crown treasure "Regalia"

At the coronation ceremony, a number of traditional treasures called "coronation treasures" handed down to the British royal family are used.

According to the British royal family, there are more than 100 "crown jewels" such as crowns, shaku, jewels, and swords, and among them, those that have a particularly important meaning in symbolizing the throne are called "regalia".

Regalia include the "Crown of St. Edward", which is used only at coronations, and the "British Crown", which is bestowed on the monarch at the end of the ceremony.

Also regalia are the shaku that Queen Elizabeth II held in her right hand at the end of her coronation 70 years ago and the jewel that she carried in her left hand.

The exceptionally large diamond on this claw is a precious piece cut from the world's largest rough, the Cullinan.

In addition to this, many "coronation treasures" have been presented at the coronation ceremony, some of which are controversial due to their historical background and ownership and other issues.

The 105.6-carat diamond embedded in the crown called "kohinoor" is said to have been brought back by the British in the 19th century when they annexed the area that straddles present-day India and Pakistan.

According to several British media outlets, Indian government officials expressed concern about the diamond's use at coronation ceremonies, saying it "reminds me of painful memories of the colonial era."

The crown with "Kohinoor" embedded in it is reportedly not expected to be used at this coronation ceremony to avoid friction with countries such as India.
