King Charles Reflects on Coronation Fears in New Documentary

The British monarch revealed concerns about the stability of the crown during his 2023 coronation, drawing parallels to his mother's preparations in 1953.

King Charles III shared his apprehension about the Edward's Crown potentially wobbling during his coronation in May 2023.
The crown, made of solid gold and weighing over 2 kilograms, is significantly heavier than the Imperial State Crown used in everyday royal ceremonies.
Charles recalled how his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, practiced wearing her crown before her 1953 coronation to adjust to its weight and balance.
The revelations were part of a new documentary, 'Coronation Girls,' which also highlights the stories of Canadian women who attended Elizabeth's coronation as teenagers.
The documentary captures a reunion of these women, now in their late 80s, with King Charles at Buckingham Palace in 2023.
