During the coronation of King Charles III of Great Britain, the throne of King Edward II, who ruled more than 700 years ago, will be used, Reuters reported, citing a source from Buckingham Palace.

The robes in which King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned also have their own history: the king will wear the robe of his grandfather, George IV, and the queen will wear a robe that was once sewn for Elizabeth II.

The coronation will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. The celebration in honor of this event will last two more days. Among the planned events are a big concert with the participation of world music stars, a dinner on the occasion of the coronation and a charity event.
