The Royal Diamond Jubilee State Coach was built in 2010 and has received modern options. Leather, wood and gilding were used in decoration.
Preparations for the coronation of Charles III have reached the finish line, and the royal transport has already been prepared. It turned out very interesting, according to the Carscoops website.
Naturally, III. Charles and Queen Consort Camila will tour London on May 6 in a gilded Gold State Car. It was built in 1760 and has been used for the coronation of all British monarchs since 1830.
However, the work of such a crew is limited by advanced age and impracticality. The car reaches 8.8 m in length, weighs 3900 kg and is not very comfortable. As a rule, eight horses are tied to it at once.
Therefore, the coronation of Charles III will take place with two wagons at once, and the second wagon is no less interesting. It was built in Australia in 2010 and was destroyed by World War II. It was used during Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The Diamond Jubilee State Coach wagon is not very standard. For example, its equipment includes air conditioning, heater and power windows (they are battery operated), and hydraulic suspension is responsible for driving comfort.
The interior of the car is decorated with expensive leather and gold leaf. Wood from the royal palaces of Balmoral and Osborne House and several English cathedrals has also been used in the decoration. The gilded crown on top of the car is made of wood from Admiral Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory.
