The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla will take place on the 6th of May, 2023. The Palace has announced that it will “reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry”. The components of the ceremony, taking an oath, anointing, investing of regalia, crowning, enthronement and homage have not altered since King Edgar was crowned in 973. And since 1066 nearly every coronation has taken place in Westminster Abbey and been performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. But over the 1000 years since, everything from the wording and prayers to the guest list and what they wore has been altered with each new monarch. I’ll use the last two coronations of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937 as a guide. And look a bit into palace announcements and media speculation to guide you through what we are likely to see at the coronation of Charles and Camilla.

Show notes

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave

The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla is unique in modern times. The United Kingdom is the only monarchy in Europe which still holds coronations. Today let’s explore the 1000 year evolution of the English and British coronation. From the crown stolen from Edward the Confessors grave, to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon’s lavish coronation clothes and feast. From making copies of the throne and regalia for the crowning of co-monarchs William and Mary to the outrage of putting Elizabeth II’s coronation on *gasp* television. Then I’ll walk you through the rituals, regalia, relics and everything else we are likely to see during the coronation of Charles III and Camilla.

A History of Coronations: Around the World Today Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave

The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla is unique in modern times. The United Kingdom is the only monarchy in Europe which still holds coronations. Secularism and revolutions from the enlightenment through the 20th century did away with Europe’s other crowning traditions. No one wanted a coronation when crowned head where getting chopped off. But Britain is not the only modern monarchy which puts a little pomp and pizazz into celebrating the beginning of a new royal reign. Many surviving monarchies outside of Europe still hold traditional coronation and enthronement ceremonies. They are a way to keep history and culture alive, link the mystic chain of dynasty, secure the reign of a new monarch and ensure that their subjects viewed them with proper reverence. Today, we’ll explore fascinating coronation and enthronement traditions going on today in Africa, Asia and Oceania. And find out when and why 11 of Europe’s 12 surviving monarchies stopped (or never started) doing coronations. And what they do instead to commemorate the ascension of a new sovereign.

Show notes

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave

Henry VIII is infamous for his relationships with women. The domineering King took 6 wives during his 36 years on the throne. And he disposed of them with as much scandal as he wooed them – Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. But Henry had two other important women in his life, his sisters, Margaret and Mary. Their lives and complicated relationships with their brother are just as intriguing as those of the famous 6 wives. Let’s get to know the two Tudor sisters, Margaret, Queen of Scotland and Mary, Queen of France.Check out my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/lindsayholiday

A History of Coronations: From Ancient to Modern Times Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave

Since ancient times, placing a crown upon a monarch’s head was a powerful symbol. It was believed to bestow a heavenly mandate to rule, or even transform a monarch into a living god. Most people don’t think of King Charles as especially divine. But he also won’t be expected to smite an enemy or walk a marathon around the city as Egyptian Pharaohs did, be asked to publicly defend his claim to the throne like Persian Kings, or lead his army on a months long march to the Vatican like the Holy Roman Emperors. And Camila is unlikely to perform a blood sacrifice and summon a vision serpent, like a Mayan Queen Consort. Let’s explore the evolution of coronations across the world from ancient to modern times. See how different cultural traditions built on each other to create modern ceremonies, and learn how secularism and revolutions have done away with all the other coronations in Europe.

Ancient Egypt Coronations

Hebrew Bible Coronations

Ancient Persia Coronations

Mayan Empire Coronations

Roman Empire Coronations

Byzantine Empire Coronations

Medieval Europe Coronations

Enlightenment Europe Coronations

Show notes

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave

The Crown. The very symbols of power, wealth, majesty and royalty. You can’t be the King without the Bling. Let’s take a look at the 1500 year history of the British crown jewels. They have been washed away in the sea, stolen from a grave, melted down to make coins, sold off to pay princely debts, and pilfered from countries across the globe to end up on the heads of Britain’s Kings and Queens. We will soon be seeing many of the Crown Jewels on our Screens at the coronation of King Chalres III and Queen Consort Camilla on the 6th of May, 2023.
