FILE - The Archbishop of Canterbury, foreground, reads the Benediction to Queen Elizabeth II, wearing St. Edward's Crown, during her coronation ceremony, in London, June 2, 1953. The crowning moment of King Charles III's coronation ceremony will occur, literally, when the Archbishop of Canterbury places St. Edward's Crown on King Charles' head. Because of its significance as the centerpiece of the coronation, this will be the only time during his reign that the monarch will wear the solid gold crown, which features a purple velvet cap, ermine band and criss-crossed arches topped by a cross.
