How King Charles’s Coronation procession will differ from Queen Elizabeth’s | Royal Insight

The Coronation procession will be a triumphant moment of King Charles’s investiture, giving thousands of well wishers who have thronged to London a chance to catch a glimpse of the newly crowned monarch. Full pomp and pageantry will be on display as the Gold State Coach and mounted escort make their way through the streets of central London. But the King’s procession will be notably shorter than the five-mile route back to Buckingham Palace following Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation in 1953. In this episode of Royal Insight, our Royal Correspondent India McTaggart guides us through the expected routes of the King’s Coronation processions, and how they will differ from his late mother’s. Notably, the monarch has opted not to emulate his mother’s journey that wound its way along Regent Street, Oxford Street and Park Lane, and will instead return to the palace via Whitehall, Admiralty Arch and The Mall. The procession itself is also set to be significantly pared back, with only one mounted escort provided by the Household Cavalry.
