Before the Coronation, the St. Edward’s Crown was resized for the King and removed from the Tower of London. According to Buckingham Palace, the Crown Jewels’ iconic centerpiece was removed to make room for modifications before the event on May 6.

Until the crown arrived safely, its movement remained a secret. There is no information on where it is right now.

Since the 13th century, a variation of it has been used at the coronations of English and British monarchs.

King Charles II received this St. Edward’s Crown in 1661 to replace the medieval one that had been destroyed after his father’s execution in 1649.

The original is believed to have been created by Edward the Confessor, the penultimate Anglo-Saxon king of England who lived in the 11th century and was a royal saint.

The royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, the Royal Mail logo, and the badges of the British military forces all feature the St. Edward’s Crown from 1661.

St. Edward’s Crown, the iconic centerpiece of the Crown Jewels, was taken out of the Tower of London on Saturday so that renovation work may start in time for the Coronation on Saturday, May 6, 2023, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

Eight months after Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and the monarch’s coronation, a ceremony will be held in Westminster Abbey.

It is anticipated that the event would honor both the spirit of 21st-century Britain and the fundamental components of the traditional ritual, which has remained mostly unchanged for more than a thousand years.

The Coronation, in contrast to Queen Elizabeth II’s, which lasted roughly three hours, is anticipated to be smaller in scope and will last less time—possibly just an hour.

Additionally, it is anticipated that it would be more multi-faith-inclusive than in the past while still being an Anglican liturgy, with Charles III and the Queen Consort being crowned.

The number of guests will drop from 8,000 in 1953 to around 2,000, peers are expected to don suits and dresses rather than ceremonial robes, and some rituals, like the presentation of gold ingots, won’t be carried out.
