What an interesting thread. I should like to see more photos of Crownings. I'm only acquainted to the ones of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the late Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, that was so interesting and long.

I wonder did any other royals and other world leaders form around the world come and see then Crown Prince Carl of Sweden become King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden ? Thanks for the wonderful story and photos.

Exception is the lavish Coronation ceremony in Britain which attracts lots of royals from outside the United Kingdom. In Belgium there were no foreign royals when King Albert II was sworn in. In Luxembourg there was attention from Queen Beatrix (from the related House of Orange-Nassau, formerly ruling in Luxembourg) and from King Albert II (sister of the Grand Duchess and uncle to the new Grand Duke). In the Netherlands there is a large royal crowd, but all of them are colleagues from the new Sovereign: Heirs and Heiresses or (when too young) other representatives. For an example in 1980 in Amsterdam were The Prince of Wales, The Crown Prince of Norway, The Prince of Liège, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg and more. But no heads of state. The most sober is, without doubt, Denmark: just an announcement by the Statsminister. And that was it. |

Interesting indeed! There has not been a death of a reigning Monarch in the Netherlands since the death of King William III in the 1890's.
As for Sweden, when the time comes, with that pseudo-republican Constitution in force I wonder if the future Queen Victoria will have the same colorful ceremony as her father on 1973? |

All swearing-in ceremonies take place shortly after (within a few days) a monarch's death and, therefore, are somber events. In contrast, a coronation takes usually place at least a few months later. In QEII's case, her father's death occurred on February 6, 1952, while her coronation took place on June 2, 1953! The delay is explained by the fact that, in Britain, the law provides that the throne never becomes vacant and a new monarch succeeds the old immediately (and automatically). Indeed, the princess Elizabeth became The Queen, while touring Africa with the Duke of Edinburgh, the very moment her father died. Coronations, in contrast to, and distinction from, swearing-in ceremonies are a major international event with many heads of state attending and a joyous occasion for the public. Coronation is not practised anymore in Europe except in Great Britain. Last edited by Philippe Egalite'; 09-15-2007 at 05:05 PM. |

I also wonder if Victoria will have the ceremony in the hall of state. I really hope so if she not will be crowned because a new monarch not sitting on the throne is not a real new monarch (at least in my eyes).
As an alternative ceremony it would be a great idea to introduce a church blessing ceremony like the "signingen" in norway. But I guess there is still a simple ceremony in the hall of state avaliable as Victoria held her majority speech there 12 years ago. |

The pictures look a bit like a real coronation rather than an enthronement/oath-taking ceromony. Why have many countries got rid of the tradtional coronations? Are royal houses more Consicous of critisism? Trying to get rid of the old and outdated look?
