1066 Centuries Crowns Cushion Kings Queens Regalia Sceptre Sceptres Velvet Orbs
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and rich history of Royal Regalia 1 and 2, the crowns, orbs, and sceptres of the British monarchy. The image showcases two magnificent portraits, each framed by red velvet and set atop elegant cushions. The first regalia, dating back to the 11th century, represents the monarch's spiritual and secular power. The second regalia, created in 1661, symbolizes the monarch's temporal power. The crowns, adorned with precious gems and intricate designs, convey the monarch's sacred role as the spiritual head of the Church of England. The orbs, topped with a cross and a globe, symbolize the monarch's power over their realm and the dominion of the heavens. The sceptres, topped with precious stones and a cross, represent the monarch's authority and justice. The photograph's warm lighting and crisp focus bring out the intricate details of the regalia, inviting viewers to explore their history and significance. The regalia have been passed down through the centuries, bearing witness to the changing face of monarchy and the enduring power of tradition. The image is a testament to the rich tapestry of British history, with the regalia's origins dating back to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The first regalia were created for the coronation of William the Conqueror, while the second regalia were commissioned for the coronation of Charles II in 1661. The regalia have been used in every coronation since, making them a cherished symbol of the British monarchy and its enduring legacy.
