Regalia

According to the royal website, King Charles will reuse historic items of clothing from the Royal Collection, worn by previous monarchs at past Coronations.

The Palace said he will reuse the Colobium Sindonis, the Supertunica, the Imperial Mantle, the Coronation Sword Belt, and the Coronation Glove, which featured in the Coronation Services of King George IV in 1821, King George V in 1911, King George VI in 1937 and Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

Colobium Sindon: Charles will be invested with Colobium Sindon after the anointing. It is a white linen shift-like tunic, and a plain collar fastened with a single button, intended to represent a priest's alb.

Supertunica: The Supertunica is a full-length, sleeved gold coat and is worn under the Imperial Mantle. The Sovereign is invested with the Supertunica following the Anointing and it is fastened with the Coronation Sword Belt.

Imperial Mantle: The Imperial Mantle is worn over the Supertunica and is more similar in design to a robe. The Imperial Mantle is made of cloth of gold, gold, silver and silk thread, silk, gold bullion fringe, and a gold clasp.

Coronation Sword Belt: The Coronation Sword Belt, is made of cloth of gold, and embroidered in gold thread with arabesques and scrolls. It is placed around the Supertunica. The Jewelled Sword of Offering is then 'girded' or fastened at the Sovereign's waist using the Sword Belt.

Coronation Glove: The Coronation Glove or gauntlet is made for the Sovereign's right hand. It is made of white leather and the wrist is embroidered with gilt metal thread, wire, and spangles in the form of national emblems. The Glove is worn to hold the Sovereign's Sceptre during the Crowning and then removed before processing to the Throne Chair.
