Along the way, King Charles and his wife Camilla board the “Diamond Jubilee Carriage”, Britain’s last royal carriage.
This Australian-made vehicle was designed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s accession to the British throne and was first used in 2014.
In figure, the royal chariot weighs 3 tons, is 5 and a half meters long and 3 meters high.
The Diamond Jubilee Coupe may look traditional, but it’s actually modern, with air conditioning, power windows and a hydraulic braking system.
It is surmounted by a finely chiselled golden crown, while its doors and handles are adorned with dozens of rubies and diamonds.
As for the interior of the carriage, it is upholstered in yellow silk, and includes pieces of wood from historic buildings and palaces.
On the way back, King Charles and his wife Camilla will ride in the “golden royal carriage”.
It is the oldest royal carriage, dating back around 260 years, and has been used in all inauguration ceremonies since the reign of King William IV in 1830.
The cart weighs 4 tons, is 7 meters long and 3.6 meters high and requires 6 horses to pull it.
The Royal Golden Chariot is a work of art of the highest quality, with elaborate carvings under a thin layer of gold and painted panels.
Traveling in these floats increases the luxury and grandeur of the British royal procession, and according to the description of specialists, they can be considered “crowns on wheels”.
