Charles, 74, will be crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey on May 6, during a grand ceremony at which he will wear or be handed regalia charged with religious and historical symbolism. "It's also a little bit of heritage, a bit of looking back to the past for our very modern king," said Moore, whose firm also made the glove for the 1953 coronation of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Charles will also wear his grandfather's 'Colobium Sindonis' - a white linen shift-like tunic, and the sword belt he wore, again eschewing the tradition of having a new one made.
