Charles, 74, will be crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey on May 6, during a grand ceremony at which he will wear or be handed regalia charged with religious and historical symbolism.
During the ceremony, the glove, made of white leather embroidered with gilt metal thread, is placed onto the right hand of the monarch during the ceremony as a reminder that the sovereign should exercise gentleness in raising taxes. Other regalia Charles will don during the service, whose roots date back 1,000 years to his Norman predecessors, includes the 'supertunica', a full-length, sleeved coat of gold silk, which was made for the coronation of King George V, Charles' great-grandfather, and worn by subsequent monarchs including Elizabeth.
