The four-ton coach is so heavy that it is pulled by eight horses, only at walking pace. King Charles, also a former naval officer, may well have been put off by that remark, as well as his mother’s complaint about how uncomfortable it is, and has opted to ride to the Abbey from Buckingham Palace in the Diamond Jubilee Coach, complete with air conditioning and springs, and ride in the Gold State Coach after the Coronation service. William, a former naval officer, said it was like being on board ship “tossing in a rough sea”. After riding in the Gold State Coach – the first monarch ever to do so at a coronation – he may well have wished he had stuck to his guns. When William IV became King in 1830 on the death of his brother, George IV, he thought a coronation a waste of time and with some reluctance agreed to a traditional Westminster Abbey crowning. ![]() The Queen Consort also has her own sceptre and rod, but the dove on hers has folded wings, indicating the difference between a monarch regnant and a queen consort. The rod, set with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires, has an enamel dove with outstretched wings topping it, to represent the Holy Spirit.

The ivory silk crepe gown is embroidered with symbolic motifs that represent the United Kingdom: The thistle for Scotland, the shamrock for Ireland, the rose for England, the daffodil for Wales. The two symbols of kingship, together with the Imperial State Crown (which is seen frequently) are placed on the monarch’s coffin for their lying in state and funeral. Like the orb, the sceptre will be reunited with Charles III just once after his coronation: upon his death. A smaller monde tops it with a cross above – just like the orb. Then in 1910, George V had the 530.2 carat Cullinan I diamond – the largest flawless white diamond in the world – added to replace the original monde. Some intricate enamelling was moved from the middle to the base in 1830, probably to allow the tiny Queen Victoria to hold it more comfortably. The sceptre has been altered several times since it was first made for Charles II.
