Historic Chairs to be Reused for the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla

Several historic ceremonial chairs will be reused by King Charles and Queen Camilla for their coronation.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the revelation in a press release on Sunday, along with information about the ceremonial seats that have been "conserved, reserved, and adapted as required" for the various phases of the May 6 service.

Chairs of Estate, Throne Chairs, various Congregation Chairs, and St. Edward's Chair, which was used to crown King Charles, are among the chairs involved.

The statement states that King Charles, 74, and Queen Camila, 75, will sit in the Chairs of Estate for the early parts of the service and the coronation of the Queen Consort, then in the Throne Chairs for the Enthronement and the Homage.

The Estate Chairs were designed for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, and the Throne Chairs for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's coronation in 1937.

The cyphers of King Charles and Queen Camilla have been updated on all of the seats that will be used in the event.

According to the press release, the seats will be auctioned off following the coronation, with the proceeds going to charity.
