 Buckingham Palace has revealed some details regarding the coronation ceremony of King Charles III as British monarch on the sixth of next month.

Charles and his wife Camilla are scheduled to head to Westminster Cathedral, where the ceremony is held in the latest royal chariot, the Diamond Jubilee carriage, which was designed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the British throne and was first used in 2014.

The palace said Charles' coronation would be in a ceremony tinged with a thousand-year-old tradition that was set to be shorter than the inauguration of his late mother Elizabeth 70 years ago.

The event will be somewhat different from the late Queen's inauguration in 1953, particularly in terms of scale, partly in line with modern times and reflecting the current cost of living crisis.

After the ceremony, Charles and Camilla will return to Buckingham Palace using the oldest royal chariot, the 260-year-old gilded royal chariot, which has been used in every inauguration since the reign of King William IV in 1831 and was first used by George III to go to attend the official opening of parliament in 1762 when he was still king of the British-controlled American colonies.

The cart is 7 meters long, 3.6 meters high, and weighs 4 tons, and it needs 8 horses to pull it.
