The Untold Truth Of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation

Elizabeth II has been Queen of England for over 65 years, making her both the oldest and the longest-reigning monarch in British history. She was only 25 years old when she took over the royal reigns after her father’s death in 1952. A year later, Elizabeth was officially crowned in a lavish ceremony called a coronation.
Like much of the monarchy itself, Elizabeth’s coronation was largely symbolic and involved a religious anointing, a presentation of objects representing “knightly virtues,” and some incredible jewels. A lot of preparation went into the ceremony, from Elizabeth’s gown to the role television would play. This is the untold truth of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation.
