The Queen Mother was crowned right after George VI and then knelt before him to pay homage before the peers did. She sat back on her throne for the formal homage of all the peers. It could be changed though for Charles III.

Thanks Elspeth and branchg. There's still very little out there as to what happens when a Queen consort is crowned.

Does the King crown the Queen or does the archbishop?

The Archbishop does. The Queen is anointed with holy oil and crowned in part of the same Christian service where the King is crowned.

I still think one of the most moving parts of the Queen's coronation was when Prince Philip knelt before his wife and made his homage.

I have a written description of the coronation and they even describe it as one of the most poignant moments of teh coronation.

Cool! Thanks Margrethe! It must look awesome!

BTW, doesn't the Crown Prince of Sweden look uncomfortable here? LOL I guess he's had enough of the in-laws.

I dont know if Charles is Edwardian. He is branded that way but his actions prove otherwise. He is wants to change the monarchy to be more like the scandinavian kingdoms. I have always considered him a carefull progesser. Still, I think the monarchy should be closer to the people but the coronation shouldnt be changed. Its alright that he is adding other faiths in the coronation but to minimize the christian part i dont like. It should be just as glorious as Elizabeths. We dont get coronations everyday.

It's confusing, in some ways he is a total traditionalist, in others such as organic farming, very progressive.:) I don't know if you would class Poundbury traditional or progressive!

Lovely pics of the Connaught family. It just reminded me how beautiful and elegant Patricia and Margaret were.

Yes, Crown Prince Gustav Adolf was the grandfather of the present King of Sweden, Carl Gustav.

He and Margaretha were also the parents of the late Queen Ingrid of Denmark so he's also the grandfather of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.

Truly fascinating thread. Thank you Beatrix for starting it. Keep posting!
I was also surprised by Charles allegedly expressed wish to downgrade his costume. Coming from such an Edwardian man, I would expect a 'Napoleon', to say the least.

I am sure his coronation will be a mixture of both (something new and something old). I totally agree that he should be the Defender of ALL faiths but I like the tradition that marks the cornations, parades, etc. I might be in the minority...but I get a chill watching the Trooping of the Colour, state occasions. As Princejohnny said..you don't get a cornation every day!

Whenever his coronation is and whatever robes etc he decides upon, I am certain that the majority of the British people will support him 100%:)

Does anybody have pics of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at the State Opening of Parliment or at their coronations. Its hard for me to imagine a guy wearing a crown and I want to see how it will be like with Charles and Camilla.
