However, Carlos III’s journey has been much shorter. Isabel II made a more extensive route with the aim of being seen by the greatest number of people. (Keep in mind that not everyone had access to a television).

The most awaited moment, the coronationhas maintained the protocol of carrying the St Edward’s Crown, receive the insignia, the sovereign’s scepter with the cross and the coronation ring.

He Prince Guillermo has knelt before his father during the enthronement, while in 1953 who surrendered tribute to Elizabeth II was her husband Felipe, who was also proclaimed at that time as prince of edinburgh. This Saturday has been the current partner of Carlos III, Camila, who has been crowned as Queen consort.

In addition, while Isabel II brought together more than 8,250 people, among whom nobles predominated, the current king has summoned to about 2,000.
