Description
DeepL TranslateThe Crown Jewels which are used today in Coronations & other ceremonial events in the United Kingdom are the Regalia which have been used by English Kings & Queens since 1660 or earlier. England is the only European monarchy still using its Regalia for the consecration ceremony of crowning the Sovereign. At Westminster Abbey, where William I was the first Monarch to be crowned, individuals carrying the processional regalia escort the Sovereign to the Coronation Chair (used at every coronation since 1300). This graceful tapestry cushion has been woven on a Jacquard loom by Flemish Master Weavers, giving an exceptionally fine but hard wearing weave.
