King Charles III&#039;s coronation is around the corner. And now is a better time than ever to lookback at King George VI&#039;s glamarous cornoation.

Throwback to George VI’s 1937 Coronation as We Await the Premiere of King Charles III&#8217;s Coronation

King Charles III’s upcoming coronation is the first that Britain will be
witnessing in a long time. The crowning ceremony of the new King has generated
anticipation that is incalculable. However, King George VI’s coronation comes a
close second. England held its last coronation in 1953 as Queen Elizabeth II
took over the throne; her reign was only shy of a few decades from expanding
over a century. Since then, the monarchy has gone through a plethora of changes,
both in the political realm and in the family itself. That King Charles III and
King George VI are both categorized under ‘unlikely monarchs’ is not the only
thing that binds them together.

As the date of King Charles’ coronation approaches closer, the anticipation
grows higher, wondering what the big day is going to look like. To aid their
imagination, Sally Bedell Smith has released a book detailing the events of King
George VI’s coronation.


WILL KING CHARLES’ CORONATION BE A LOOKALIKE OF KING GEORGE VI’S CORONATION?

That King Charles’ coronation will be unlike any other coronation is a given.
Whether his younger son Prince Harry will be present at the ceremony or if his
presence will have any significance in the crowning ceremony is still much of a
conundrum.

Despite the unique elements in King Charles’ ceremony such as the Queen consort
reusing a crown, there are a notable amount of similarities that can be fetched
from King George VI’s coronation owing to Sally Bedell Smith’s George VI and
Elizabeth: The Marriage That Saved Monarchy. An extract from the book as
revealed by People
[https://people.com/royals/king-george-vi-coronation-revisited-ahead-king-charles/]reads
that King George found the wait to be “nerve-wracking,” .

The extract also highlights how important the support of Queen Elizabeth was
everything as he took up the mantle of the King of England. While much is to be
seen, Queen Consort Camilla also seems to be the driving force behind King
Charles’ policies of a modern monarchy in England.


WHAT WE LEFT BEHIND AT 1937 CORONATION

Nearly a century after King George’s coronation, as King Charles takes his seat
near the Chair of Estate, a lot has changed. The ceremony which Sally Bedell
Smith revealed in her book was nearly two hours long, whereas King Charles will
be aiming for a sixty-minutes roundup.

King George VI’s coronation was witnessed by eight thousand guests, whereas this
time around it has been cut down by a huge margin. An estimated 2,000 guests
will reportedly show up at Westminster Abbey.

Do you think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be among the 2,000 guests? Let
