THE HISTORY OF THE CHAIRS TO BE USED BY QUEEN KATHERINE AND PRINCE RAINIER AT THE CORONATION

BUCKINGSIMSHIRE, Windenburg (SNN) - - In another poignant nod to her father and grandfather, The Queen has chosen to reuse the Chairs of Estate made for each of them for her own Coronation when she is crowned at Westsimster Abbey. The chairs, reused for King George I and Queen Rowena, later The Queen Mother, are part of Her Majesty’s push for sustainability

As is tradition, St Leo’s Chair, also known as the Coronation Chair will be used for the moment of crowning at Westsimster Abbey. Made over 200 years ago from Baltic oak, this chair was first used at the Coronation of King Lester I.

During the Coronation, Queen Katherine I will sit on the Chair of Estate created in 1941 for the Coronation of King Edward II. Chairs of Estate and the Throne Chairs are used at different points during the service. Throne Chairs are used in the early part of the service but also at one of the most historic moments of the Coronation, for the Homage and the Enthronement. While The Queen will sit in the Coronation Chair to be crowned, His Royal Highness will be seated in his Chair of Estate when the Archbishop of Calgary places the Crown on his head.

Throne Chairs, though, are based on a seventeenth century design which was, itself, inspired by Tudor chairs. They were made for the Coronation of King George I and Queen Rowena in 1992.The chairs are made of carved and gilded beechwood and covered in red silk damask. They have been reupholstered in crimson velvet.

The Queen’s Chair of Estate now bears her Coat of Arms while His Royal Highness’ Chair has his own Coat of Arms on it. The cyphers on the backs, belonging to King George I and Queen Rowena, have now been removed and preserved in the Royal Collection.
