The tradition of wearing a crown in our country is from time immemorial. In English it is called Crown. It started in Britain in 1066. When King William was crowned on Christmas Day at Westminster Abbey.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth has passed away peacefully after completing 70 years of reign. After his funeral, Britain will begin implementing Operation Golden Orb.
What is Operation Golden Orb?
Operation Golden Orb is code-named. Code name for the coronation ceremony of Prince Charles becoming King. The Golden Orb is actually a gold sphere. It contains holy oil. In the coronation ceremony of a king or queen, the oil is applied to the forehead, chest and palms before the coronation.
In 1066, the coronation begins with King William
King William, known as William P Conderer, held his coronation on Christmas Day 1096 at Westminster Abbey. Since then, this tradition has continued in Britain. Much of the same ceremony will be performed at the coronation of King Charles.
All imperial material in the Coun Tower of London
After King William, every monarch either had new crown jewels installed or had new crowns made. For the identity of the royal family. Jutha juthi crowns are also made for princes and princesses besides the king and queen. All of them are kept in tight security at Tire or Lund in Westminster. This royal material is called regalia.
Robbery of King John's crown and diamond-jewels
In 1199, when King John, who came to the throne, proved weak, the zamindars rebelled and looted. A lot of things were drowned in the river as Rigelia ran away. King Henry III, who came to the throne in 1216, had much of the regalia rebuilt.
Later, King Edward declared himself a faithful apostle of Jesus and assumed the name St. Edward. Since then, the King began to be considered a divine figure to prevent rebellion.
However, during the reign of King Charles-I, the King's greed led to a rebellion and King Charles was hanged. Many royal symbols were looted. People melted gold and sold diamonds and jewels.
Little of the regalia was recovered
Exact details of which items of regalia were recovered are not available. Only the spoon used for anointing the forehead at coronation and the scepter with the eagle symbol are in original form. Its artistic carvings date back to the 12th and 14th centuries.
KING CHARLES-II A NEW BEGINNING
After that in 1661, King Charles II established his kingdom again. All the royal symbols and crowns were made anew and he enthroned himself. However, he modeled his crown on King Edward's original design. It is solid gold, weighs 2.3 kg. This weighty crown was used only at coronations. Even today, King Charles-II's crown, ring, purple velvet hat, gold orb, scepter with cross are preserved.
