What will King Charles III wear to his Coronation?
King Charles will arrive at Westminster Abbey in George
VI's crimson red Robe of State which he will remove for
his anointing.
Then for the investiture he will put on a sleeveless white
garment called the Colobium Sindonis - and will also be
given a long, narrow embroidered band of gold silk
which goes around the shoulders, known as the
Coronation Stole.
For the crowning, King Charles will be given a long
shimmering gold-sleeved coat to wear called the
Supertunica.
At the end of the service, the King will change into
George VI's purple Robe of Estate to leave the Abbey.
