The Robes and Coronets of the Nobility at the British Coronation

#coronation #coronet #charlesiii #peerage #nobility At all the previous coronations of British sovereigns, Westminster Abbey has been filled with a sea of crimson robes and gilded coronets, the traditional robes of the British nobility. The nobles were present because they had a political reason to be so. In this video, I talk about who the nobility are, why they have this distinctive clothing, how it originated and what it means. Will we see such a sight again?
