‘Much heavier’: King Charles reveals how he felt about his coronation crown
King Charles III, in a new documentary, expressed his anxiety about wearing the heavy St. Edward’s Crown, fearing it might wobble. He recalled his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, practicing with the crown during his childhood bath times. The documentary, “Coronation Girls,” features twelve Canadian women who attended Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation and revisited Buckingham Palace in 2023, unexpectedly meeting the King.
