Queen Camilla Will Be Crowned Alongside King Charles During Their Coronation At Westminster Abbey
As the new queen consort and king of Britain, Camilla and Charles will be a joint coronation, which will most likely be held at Westminster Abbey. As of writing, the date of King Charles’ coronation has not yet been announced, but according to reports, it will take a couple of months before the official ceremony takes place.
Since Queen Camilla is the wife of the sovereign, she will also have a coronation ceremony of her own. However, it wouldn’t be separate from King Charles. This simply means that when King Charles is crowned, Queen Camilla will also be crowned.

King Charles Will Wear The Imperial State Crown, While Queen Camilla Will Wear A Smaller Version Of The Crown
For the ceremony, King Charles will wear the Imperial State Crown. And his wife will wear a smaller and more delicate version of the same crown.
According to Newsweek, Queen Camilla will follow in the footsteps of Queen Alexander, Queen Mary, and the Queen Mother, who each had new crowns made for their coronation. Their crowns featured paste gems instead of the precious stones from the original crowns.
It’s unclear if Queen Camilla will have a new crown made. This will only be possible if the one used by the Queen Mother is too small for her. The crown in question is currently on display at the Tower of London together with the other jewelry from Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Jewels.
Following their coronation, royal fans could see Queen Camilla wearing a crown when she attends the State Opening of Parliament next year.
