The lower-key ceremony on May 6 will still be steeped in ancient traditions but will also feature its own bespoke emoji, reflecting the first British crowning of the social media era. 

3 crowns, 2 carriages and an emoji: details of King Charles' coronation

King Charles III plans to take a shortcut and smoother ride to Westminster Abbey for his coronation as he aims for a more modest event that will include some modern touches, Buckingham Palace said.

King Charles III plans to take a shortcut and smoother ride to Westminster Abbey for his coronation, trimming the procession route his mother took in 1953 as he aims for a more modest event that will include some modern touches, Buckingham Palace said Sunday.
The lower-key ceremony May 6 will still be steeped in ancient traditions and adorned with royal regalia from the Crown Jewels, but will also feature its own bespoke emoji, reflecting the first British crowning of the social media era. Queen Elizabeth II's was the first coronation televised 70 years ago.
In one break with tradition, Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, will roll out of Buckingham Palace in the horse-drawn gilded black Diamond Jubilee State Coach built for Elizabeth's 60th anniversary. It has heat, air conditioning, power windows and a suspension system that will provide a comfier ride than his mother's accommodations for her enthronement.
The 1.3 mile (2 kilometer) route is a bit shorter than the one Elizabeth took to the royal church. The procession will go through Admiralty Arch; past Trafalgar Square and a statue of Charles I, the monarch beheaded in 1649; and by the houses of Parliament before arriving for the 11 a.m. religious service.
While Charles wants to show the monarchy is still relevant in modern, multi-cultural Britain, he has said he plans to slim down the institution. The coronation is expected to reflect that with a shorter, less extravagant ceremony than the three-hour service that installed Elizabeth II.
Still, much of the priceless coronation regalia used for centuries will be part of crowning both Charles and Camilla, including five symbolic swords, two scepters and the Sovereign's Ring of sapphire with a ruby cross set in diamonds.

Camilla, who will wear Queen Mary's Crown, will hold a controversial scepter made of ivory. Britain has a near-total ban on dealing elephant ivory products and Prince William, heir to the throne, has campaigned against illegal animal part trafficking.
During the solemn ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury, Charles will be crowned the king with the St. Edward's Crown, the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels viewed by millions of people every year at the Tower of London.
The crown, which is the inspiration for the coronation emoji, features a 4.9-pound (2.2-kilogram) solid gold frame set with rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnets, topazes and tourmalines and has a purple velvet cap and ermine band. It was worn by Elizabeth during her coronation and has been refitted for her son.
At the end of the ceremony, Charles will switch to the lighter Imperial State Crown for the procession back to the palace.
Unlike the 8 kilometer route Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip took around London in 1953, Charles and Camilla will return the way they came, but in a 260-year-old carriage used in every coronation since William IV's in 1831.
The Gold State Coach, which weighs 4,000 kilograms, and is pulled by eight horses, is known for its notoriously rough ride.
Elizabeth described it as &ldquo;horrible,&rdquo; Queen Victoria complained of its &ldquo;distressing oscillation," and William IV &mdash; known as the Sailor King &ndash; said it was like &ldquo;being aboard a ship tossing in a rough sea.&rdquo; &ldquo;When you're following it, you can hear it creaking so it sounds like an old galleon going along," said Martin Oates, who helped restore it and walks behind as the brakeman. &ldquo;It's not quite a washing machine, but where other vehicles just go from back to front, this is moving from side to side.&rdquo; The gilded coach is so heavy, it can only move at walking pace. That should provide more time for people along the route to see the newly crowned king and queen.
Military troops on parade will salute the king and queen at Buckingham Palace gardens, followed by three cheers from service members.

The undated handwritten letter to Prince William has surfaced about 2 months after her death.

A heartwarming letter by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II&nbsp; to young Prince William has gone &nbsp;viral.
The undated handwritten letter to her grandson has surfaced about 2 months after her death.
It reads, &ldquo;William, I hope you enjoy opening this each day, Granny".&nbsp;
The viral note which has been written on Buckingham Palace&rsquo;s letterhead, was given to William on Christmas, as per an NDTV report.
UK&rsquo;s Daily Mail in a report stated that the handwritten note was first put up for auction in December 2016.
A social media account claimed that the letter was bought from late Princess Diana&rsquo;s former employee.
Since the time it was shared, the letter gained great traction with over 3700 likes and hundreds of retweets.
Queen Elizabeth II who passed away last month was the longest reigning monarch of Britain. Besides Prince William, she was also grandmother to her 7 other grandchildren including Prince Harry.

Hundreds of people protested at anti-monarchy rallies across Australia on Thursday, as the country observed a national day of mourning for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The government declared Thursday a nationwide public holiday.
A national memorial service was held in Canberra and attended by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Governor-General David Hurley, King Charles III's representative in Australia.
Both had returned Wednesday from the queen's funeral in London.
The holiday has been marked by some protests that focused on the harm British colonization caused Indigenous Australians.
Australia is one of the few former British colonies that never struck a treaty with the Indigenous population.
The government plans to change the Australian constitution with a referendum that would create a mechanism for Indigenous people to consult Parliament about policies that affect their lives.
Indigenous people's responses in Australia to the queen's death have been mixed.
Indigenous dancers and singers started the Parliament House ceremony.
Two opinion polls published since the queen's death show most Australians want to remain a constitutional monarchy.
Advocates for an Australian republic argue that this is a temporary reaction to the intense media coverage of a popular monarch.

Hong Kong police said Tuesday they have arrested a man who paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II near the city's British Consulate for alleged sedition.
Video posted on social media and shared with The Associated Press shows the man was outside the British Consulate in Hong Kong as crowds gathered to mourn the queen on the day of her funeral.
He was playing songs on a harmonica including "Glory to Hong Kong," the anthem of pro-democracy protests that rocked the city in 2019. The crowd sang as the man played.
Police said the 43-year-old man was detained late Monday near the consulate, where dozens of people had gathered to remember the late monarch. Elizabeth was sovereign in the city when it was a British colony before its handover to Chinese rule in 1997.
Police said the man was arrested for investigation on suspicion of "committing an act with seditious intent." They did not provide further details.
Thousands of Hong Kong residents have lined up in recent days in front of the British Consulate and left floral tributes to the queen, known affectionately as "boss lady" by many in the city who still remember colonial rule.
Until the arrest, Hong Kong authorities had allowed the orderly, somber outpouring of grief to continue.

One of the biggest logistical events ever witnessed in London is underway on Thursday as the first few thousand members of the public file past the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament complex in the heart of the UK capital.
A week since the 96-year-old monarch died peacefully at her Scottish summer residence of Balmoral Castle, her coffin has been part of a historic journey by road and air until it was conveyed in a grand procession from Buckingham Palace to lie in state in the historic hall within the Palace of Westminster.
The ancient ceremony of Lying-in-State, dating back to the 19th century, involves the coffin resting on a raised platform called catafalque in the middle of Westminster Hall as members of the queuing public are allowed in to walk briskly past.
Within hours of the Lying-in-State ceremony opening to the public at 5pm local time on Wednesday evening, the queue was said to be over 4-km-long winding around the river Thames.
According to the Department of Digital, Media and Sports (DCMS), which is coordinating the logistical aspect of the ceremony, the queue would not be allowed to get any longer than 16 kilometres and has warned mourners of an estimated 30-hour overnight wait to get to Westminster Hall.
The 24-hour round-the-clock process will remain open to the public until 6.30am local time on Monday, just hours before the funeral ceremony for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch at Westminster Abbey at 11 am.
The BBC has been live streaming the Lying-in-State, which involves mourners from around the UK and even different parts of the world join a swiftly moving queue to walk through the hall, some pausing very briefly at the side of the coffin in reflection or in prayer.
Members of the royal family had private time with the coffin overnight on Tuesday, when the Queen spent her final night at her London residence of Buckingham Palace.
On Wednesday afternoon, her coffin was taken on a horse-drawn gun carriage through central London in a procession that included King Charles III, his sons William and Harry and the late monarch’s other children – Princess Anne and Princes Andrew and Edward.
Thousands flocked the route to observe the procession, which was accompanied by gun salutes and Big Ben chimes. Large screens had been set up in Hyde Park for those unable to gain access to the viewing spots along the procession route.
The next few days of the UK's state mourning will be focussed around the Lying-in-State as the new monarch continues his duties under Operation Spring Tide and makes a visit to Wales on Friday to complete his tour of all parts of the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the King will also hold audiences with British Prime Minister Liz Truss and other senior officials related to the preparations for the state funeral on Monday.
President Droupadi Murmu will be representing India at the funeral, expected to be attended by around 500 world leaders including royalty and heads of state and government.

Police arrested a young man who shouted at the UK's Prince Andrew as he accompanied Queen Elizabeth II's coffin to St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday.
The prince and other members of the royal family, including King Charles III, marched behind the hearse as it made its way down the famous Royal Mile.
Mourners and wellwishers crowded along the famous route in the Scottish capital were mostly silent as the sombre procession passed.
But at one point, a young man was seen and heard shouting at the Duke of York, though it was unclear what he said.
Footage of the incident shows the man being pulled away and members of the crowds drowning out his voice by chanting "God Save The King."
Police Scotland later said that a 22-year-old man had been detained in connection with a breach of the peace.

A socio-cultural organisation of Odisha has claimed that the Kohinoor diamond belonged to Lord Jagannath, and sought the intervention of President Droupadi Murmu for its return to the historic Puri temple from the United Kingdom.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, her son Prince Charles has become the King and, as per norms, the 105-carat diamond will go to his wife the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla, who is the Queen consort.
Shree Jagannath Sena, a Puri-based outfit, submitted a memorandum to the President, seeking her intervention to facilitate the process of bringing back the Kohinoor diamond to the 12th-century shrine.
“The Kohinoor diamond belongs to Sri Jagannath Bhagban. It is now with the Queen of England. Kindly request our Prime Minister to take steps to bring it to India... as Maharaja Ranjit Singh donated it to God Jagannath in his will,” Sena convener Priya Darsan Pattnaik said in the memorandum.
Pattnaik claimed that Maharaja of Punjab Ranjit Singh had donated the diamond to the Puri Lord after he won a battle against Nadir Shah of Afghanistan.
However, it was not handed over immediately. Ranjit Singh died in 1839 and, 10 years later, the British took the Kohinoor away from his son, Duleep Singh, though they were aware that it was bequeathed to Lord Jagannath at Puri, historian and researcher Anil Dhir told PTI.
Pattnaik asserted that after he sent a letter to the Queen in this regard, he received a communication from Buckingham Palace on October 19, 2016, asking him to appeal directly to the United Kingdom government as “Her Majesty acts on the advice of her ministers and remains strictly non-political at all times”.
A copy of that letter has been attached to the memorandum to the President, he said.
Asked why he was silent on the issue for six years, Pattnaik said he was denied a Visa to visit England due to which he could not take up the matter further with the UK government.
Sena’s claim is justified though there are several claimants like Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s heirs, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Dhir said.
“Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s will before his death stated that he donated the Kohinoor to Lord Jagannath. The document was certified by a British Army officer, the proof of which is available at the National Archives in Delhi,” said the historian.
Odisha’s ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Bhupinder Singh had raised the issue of bringing the diamond back, in the Rajya Sabha in 2016.
The BJP MLA of Puri, Jayant Sarangi, also said he would take up the matter in the Odisha Assembly.
The Kohinoor diamond was "surrendered" by the Maharaja of Lahore to the then Queen of England and "not handed over" to the British nearly 170 years ago, the Archaeological Survey of India replied to an RTI query a few years ago.
Author and historian William Dalrymple noted in his book, "Kohinoor" that child Sikh heir Duleep Singh regretted having surrendered the jewel to Queen Victoria. However, he also wished to give it to the Queen as a man.
The Indian government's stand in the Supreme Court was that the diamond, estimated to cost over USD 200 million, was neither stolen nor "forcibly" taken by British rulers, but given to the East India Company by erstwhile rulers of Punjab.
Considered to be one of the world’s most precious gems, the Kohinoor was reportedly found in India in the 14th century during coal mining in the Kollur mine in South India.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle. The news immediately broke after ex-India captain Virat Kohli notched up his elusive ton in the shortest format of the game. The prolific batter once had the chance to meet the Queen, the monarch who marked 70 years on the throne this year.
Before the 2019 World Cup began in England, the Queen invited the captains of the 10 participating nations. Kohli, alongside the other captains was invited to the Buckingham Palace before the Tournament began. Apart from him, legendry cricketer Sachin Tendulkar also had a chance to meet the Queen. During a reception at London's Buckingham Palace in June 1999, for the World Cup cricket teams, Sachin Tendulkar along with Pakistan's Moin Khan and Zimbabwe's Heath Streak met the Queen.
