On May 6, in the presence of his wife, Queen Camilla Parker, his closest relatives, and international celebrities, King Charles III was installed as the supreme ruler of the United Kingdom. They were the first people to wear the pricey crowns that had been specially crafted for them.
Some people are wondering whether the son of Queen Elizabeth II would have abandoned his royal obligations as the nation’s main monarch given that King Charles III was reported to have taken off his crown a few days after the significant event.
However, the reason King Charles III was forced to remove his crown was because it will play a central role in a spectacular exhibition at the Tower of London that tells the history of both this and Queen Camilla’s crowns as well as other priceless relics and emblems like the scepter and the orb.
The jewelry exhibition, which has been planned for a while and is housed in the Tower of London Jewel House, needed some updating after the previous era, so some changes were made to make it a spectacular opportunity to learn about the background of all the crowns. However, this does not mean that King Charles III has abdicated his responsibilities as king.
For those who are interested in learning more about what this means for the British royal family, before entering the room where the main crowns are on display, you can see some booths where the swords that were used in various coronations are kept. This excellent exhibition explains the full history behind all of these crowns.
