Abstract

The article focuses on the coronation of King Charles III, a ceremony rich in historical and religious significance, taking place at Westminster Abbey. It highlights the Great Golden Spurs, a symbol of knighthood that has been part of coronations since 1189, and notes that Simon Abney-Hastings, the 15th Earl of Loudoun, will hold them during the ceremony, continuing a family tradition dating back to King Richard I. The article also mentions other ceremonial objects, such as the Stone of Destiny and various swords, which contribute to the event's elaborate and traditional nature, while reflecting on the differing perspectives of royalists and anti-monarchists regarding the relevance of such rituals today.
