I have a book published in 1964 called "Lord Arran Writes", a collection of the newspaper columns of the then Earl of Arran in which, amongst other topics, he gives an amusing account of the hierarchy of peers' coronets: "Leaving out the barons who hardly count anyway the curious thing is that the higher your rank the fewer balls you have. A baron has six enormous ones. A viscount sixteen little tiddlers. But when you get into the earl category, your balls decrease in number and you have strawberry leaves as well. A marquis has four balls and four strawberry leaves. A duke has no balls at all. "These are solemn thoughts, and I ask you to give them your earnest consideration." He goes on to describe his efforts to buy or rent a coronet, which he claimed he wished to wear in the bath.

Thank you so much for your highly informative programs. I find them all fascinating, especially the visits to churches that may not be well known. I am also enjoying your series on coronations. I have been fascinated by coronations and the Crown Jewels ever since I read a book on the subject from my local library in Missouri when I was a a child in the early 1970s. It was The Coronation Book by Leonard Wibberley published in 1953 to cash in, I expect, on the late Queen's coronation. I re-read it several times and, years later, was delighted to acquire a used copy of my own. Could you recommend other books on coronations and the Crown Jewels? Also, I was wondering why King Charles III's coronation is scheduled so relatively soon after his accession. Going back to Queen Victoria's, coronations have been scheduled about a year and a half after the accession. You would think they would want more time to plan such a an elaborate event, especially as it has been 70 years since the last one. I understand that a lot of research had to be done to prepare for King Edward VII's coronation as virtually everyone was dead who attended his mother's and it's been even longer this time. Thank you very much.

I think it might help those unfamiliar with these ranks to add that Barons are often referred to as Lords. Of, course, this can be confusing, as higher ranks, in personal address, are also called “My Lord”, for example “My Lord Norfolk” for the duke of that name. I think you should clarify ladies’ courtesy titles, too. When I read modern history or historical novels, the writers, even if English, always get them wrong. For example, when a untitled woman marries a knight, baronet or lord, they call them Lady (given name), instead of Lady (husband’s surname). But women are only called Lady (given name) if the receive that courtesy title based on the rank of their father.

@@allanbarton Good idea! There are five versions of the princely coronets, starting with the heir apparent. Looking forward to that one!

My suspicion is that the coronation robes for peers will be abandoned, and they will wear the parliamentary robe, perhaps with the coronet as well, with the potential exception of Royal Dukes etc. Seeing as life peers are unlikely to own coronation robes and such things would be seen as a great expense in a time of economic difficulty. Especially as we would probably know by now if new robes were being made as the manufacturers would already be needing to make them, and somone either a peer or artisan would have mentioned it. It will probably be similar to the State Opening, with a lottery for peers to get tickets, perhaps with exceptions for the special heredataries (the senior peers who have automatic right to retain their seat in the Lords unlike the other heredataries, an example being the Duke of Norfolk). as if all the sitting peers are invited they'd almost fill all the seats in the Abbey, as there are like 700 of them and iirc HM indicated there would be only 1000 guests.

Very interesting interpretation! Certainly sounds plausible!

Thanks for the explanations of peerage titles. I do wonder what the dress will look like for partners of female peers 😄

In the run-up to the coronation, I've been watching videos of past coronations. If the peers show up in business suits, or even in morning dress, they are going to look really silly. The form and substance of the coronation rites require special garb. I'm sorry that the UK is so willing to throw away its heritage and symbolism. Likewise, King Charles should continue to wear the traditional coronation garb of breeches and linen tunic. Wearing a uniform, any uniform, turns the event into a military exercise, not one that covers all the aspects of the monarchy.

A new form of coronation robe for women was approved some decades ago. The peeress may now wear an ermine cape/pellegrina similar to that of the corresponding peer, but not joined to the crimson train, which underlies it. Her arms extend from under the cape and are sleeveless. As before, she wears long white silk gloves (which you didn't mention).

I don't think there will be much peers to be seen at the coronation. If the guest list is reduced to around 2000 people which will include the Windsor family, the members of Royal families from all parts of the world, representatives of the Commonwealth, the representatives of all the other nations in the world, representatives of different organisations of charity and military and of course the MPs, there is little space for the peers. Probably only the peers of the House of Lords will be invited. And I don't think that the normal life peers will be forced to attend the coronation in a special coronation dress complete with a coronet. The coronation will take place in 4 month, thats's not enough time to make over 500 hundred new coronation dresses and coronets.

Charles didn't want the pomp of fully decked out peers at his recent coronation. Unstable and hasty departure from tradition? Then he changed his mind last minute to allow it. Too bad since outfit and coronet run $50k to use them once or twice in a lifetime.

It is such a shame when a monarchy goes. I think in the UK we are thankfully a long way from that possibility.

I wish he would depart from the usual and wear the princes crown for the coronation as it is so gorgeous and less pretentious. It was made for him…

The coronet of the Prince of Wales? It isn't a crown though, but a coronet and it only has a single arch. The Prince of Wales may well be wearing it though.

Any of those coronets have beryls on them? 😂❤

The Government stopped us Baronets from being included in the peerage but if any had more right it is us

Hello, baronets have never been included in the ranks of the peerage, even when they were first created by King James I in the 17th century. So the government hasn't prevented anything before or since!

Coronets? Crowns.

@@newnormal1841 Hello, St Edward's Crown is quite heavy just over 5 lbs but that's only used briefly at the moment of crowning. It's then replaced by the much lighter Imperial State Crown. By the way Westminster Abbey isn't a cathedral, it's a Royal Abbey church with no bishop. And it has a very good central heating system! It's always nice and warm in the Abbey!
