King Charles' coronation: This is the weight of the coronation outfit
King Charles wears a royal robe, which is made up of several individual garments: The so-called upper tunic consists of golden silk threads and is decorated with gold as well as silver applications and floral patterns. This tunic weighs about two kilograms and was made for King George V in 1911.
Over it, Charles wears a floor-length cape. It is held together by a golden clasp over the chest, which represents an eagle. The cloak dates back to 1821 and weighs around four kilograms. King Charles' coronation cloak alone thus weighs six kilograms.
