When Charles is officially crowned at his coronation the Crown of St Edward will be placed on his head. It is the same crown that has been worn by all monarchs on their coronation, including our late QEII
The Crown of St Edward dates back to at least 1503 and it was depicted on a portrait of King James IV.
On State occasions the monarch wears the Imperial State Crown.
The Crown of St Edward is also worn on the State Opening of Parliament
The date of Charles coronation is not yet known but it is expected to take place in early spring 2023.
It will be a much shorter version without all the pomp and circumstance like the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II was.
