King Charles III photographed at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, on April 14, 2023. The king will attend his coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6.In 1821, King George IV attended his lavish coronation, organized with his famous eye for aesthetics in mind, reviving medieval costumes and pageantry.
This being the case, Caroline was not sent an invitation to the coronation. When she showed up at the abbey in any case, she was unceremoniously barred from entering despite making several attempts at different doors. The ceremony lasted five hours and was undertaken without extensive rehearsals meaning there were a number of issues that arose throughout the day. A primary problem occurred when the Archbishop of Canterbury put the coronation ring on the queen's finger.
"Poor old Lord Rolle who is 82, and dreadfully infirm, in attempting to ascend the steps, fell and rolled quite down," she wrote."But was not the least hurt; when he attempted to re-ascend them, I got up and advanced to the end of the steps, in order to prevent another fall."
