King Charles Reflects on Coronation Preparations in New Documentary

The monarch shares personal memories of practicing with the crown and his late mother Queen Elizabeth's unique approach before her own coronation.

King Charles revealed he practiced wearing the 5-pound St. Edward's Crown before his coronation in May 2023 to avoid it wobbling during the ceremony.
In a new documentary, Charles recalls his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, practicing wearing her crown during his and Princess Anne's bath time ahead of her 1953 coronation.
The documentary, 'Coronation Girls,' follows a group of Canadian women who attended Queen Elizabeth's coronation as teenagers and reunited in the UK for Charles's coronation year.
The monarch shared lighthearted memories of his mother's coronation day, including details about his attire and haircut as a young boy.
The film highlights the enduring friendships and reflections of the Canadian women, while also showcasing their surprise meeting with King Charles at Buckingham Palace in December 2023.
