Text: There is material in the big core
Edit|Big core has material
In May of this year, Charles's long-awaited coronation finally arrived. As the only country in Europe that still retains a monarchy, the coronation, which symbolizes the transfer of power, is naturally a ceremony that the whole country and the world are concerned about.
There have been many kings in British history, and each coronation is different. Some of the ceremonies are simple, while others are extravagant. Some almost turned into farce, while others made jokes due to omissions.
Charles, who has always been a media figure, has complex disputes in the family that have to be said. For example, his queen Camilla, who was someone else's wife twenty years ago.
At this coronation, many members of the royal family, who had a delicate relationship, gathered. The interactions between them, as well as the open and secret rivalries, all reveal the undercurrents of the royal family.
Today we are going to talk about some of the subtle details that appeared at the coronation of the United Kingdom that deserve attention.
隆重加冕
To talk about Charles's coronation, one has to mention the coronation of his mother, Elizabeth II. The coronation of the queen was the first for the British royal family: the first broadcast of the world on television!
When Churchill was the British Prime Minister, he did not agree with this kind of mobilization. But the queen, who is the protagonist, has repeatedly insisted on broadcasting the whole process on TV, and he has never resisted the queen.
It is said that in order to allow Canada to watch this solemn ceremony online, the United Kingdom sent a plane to transport the video materials to Canada.
Not to be outdone, Canada directly sent fighter jets to transport these materials to all parts of the country, so that the whole country of Canada could see the ceremony.
Canada is all like this, not to mention the British themselves. At that time, television sets were not yet widely available, and some people could not afford to buy them, so they had to rent one to watch the coronation.
It is said that this coronation ceremony was broadcast live on TV to nearly 300 million people around the world.
Others attach so much importance to it, and the Queen of England is naturally the person who cares most about this. A year ago, Elizabeth began to prepare.
She had to bring some very heavy jewels to the coronation, and in order to Xi these weights and ensure that she could ensure her grace on the day, she wore the heavy crown every day to read books and newspapers.
Years later, in an interview, the queen still mentioned these stories with great interest, saying that the crown was so heavy that her neck was about to be crushed.
There was another interesting incident back then. The British royal family would send invitations to those present inviting them to the coronation. Charles was only five years old at the time, and the invitation he received was a one-of-a-kind cartoon customization.
The king then made a scene
The coronation that will be talked about next is simply a farce. In 1821, the coronation of George IV of England took place as scheduled. It is rumored to be one of the most extravagant coronations in Britain.
For this coronation, which is less than a day, the royal family spent 240,000 pounds, which is equivalent to more than 4 million yuan today. That was the nineteenth century, and more than four million was a huge amount, twenty times the cost of the coronation of the previous king!
However, when the coronation officially began, an uninvited guest came to the church where the ceremony was held. A luxurious carriage carried a graceful lady to the church, Caroline, the queen of George IV.
Although she is the queen, she has a very poor relationship with George. Because George was unscrupulous, he kept mistresses everywhere. Caroline saw that she couldn't control him, so she simply separated from him and moved to Italy.
However, on the day of the coronation, George obviously did not invite Caroline, but she returned. The carriage swaggered through the downtown area, and the people along the way, knowing nothing about it, cheered for her.
But when they arrived at the church, the guards saw that something was wrong and immediately closed the church door. The queen reluctantly and angrily asked to enter the door, but was asked by the guards to show the invitation.
Caroline and George were tired of each other, so naturally there was no invitation. After the dispute was fruitless, she had to leave in disgrace.
At this time, the people on the road also felt the taste. They laughed at Caroline and shouted "Shame!
Ten days later, Caroline died. Although the official version is that she died of illness, there are rumors that King George saw her unpleasantly and sent someone to poison her.
Fierce and secret battles on jewelry
Next we are going to talk about this coronation of Charles this year. Although there was no farce and pomp at the ceremony, there were some noteworthy details.
Charles, as the king, naturally used some luxurious jewelry. What attracts attention is the jewelry used by his queen Camilla and daughter-in-law Princess Kate.
Camilla stressed before the coronation that no one was allowed to wear the crown except for her and Charles.
You know, the previous coronations were not limited to crowns. Both princesses, princes, and princesses can wear crowns, but the style is different from the king's.
Camilla's request is nothing more than to establish her own prestige: You all have to listen to me!
As for herself, she wears a super luxurious crown, which looks a little inferior to Charles's. The crown was the one used by Queen Mary.
The necklace she carefully selected is a diamond necklace inherited from the Victorian era. Twenty-five large diamonds, each almost as big as an eyeball.
At the official coronation, those princesses and princesses really did not wear crowns. Princess Anne wears a tall black hat. Kate opted for the laurel tiara.
Kate's earrings and necklaces are even more eye-catching. Although the style and luxury are not as good as Camilla's, the story behind it is intriguing.
The earrings she wore were diamond and pearl styles, which were worn by Charles's ex-wife Diana! What's even more interesting is that these earrings were given to Diana by Charles back then.
The necklace she used was the same diamond necklace that King George VI gave to Elizabeth. Later, when Elizabeth became queen, she gave it to her granddaughter-in-law Kate.
She silently warns Camilla not to be complacent, while also reminding her that Diana's shadow is everywhere in this house.
In fact, it's not just this string of pearl earrings, Kate has often worn Diana's jewelry since she married Prince William. It also seems to mean that she has been fighting Camila in secret.
No matter how hard Camila tries, she can't erase the traces of Diana's past, nor can she hide the filth of her past.
What's even more interesting is that at this coronation, Camilla's ex-husband actually sat in the front row and participated in this coronation to witness his ex-wife being crowned queen.
It is said that Camilla and Charles held a wedding that year and also invited the ex-husband.
epilogue
No matter what this coronation makes Camilado proud, it can't hide the fact that she once intervened in Diana's marriage. What kind of secret story is hidden behind the glamorous British royal family?
