LONDON, Dec 9, (V7N) - "Coronation Girls", an upcoming documentary, features Britain's King Charles III sharing personal memories and reflections on the coronation crown and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II's historic crowning ceremony.

The king spoke candidly about the St. Edward's Crown, the 17th-century gold headpiece in which he was crowned last year. "The big one that you're crowned with, the St. Edward's Crown, it weighs five pounds (more than two kilogrammes)," he said. "It is much heavier and taller, so there's always that feeling of feeling slightly anxious, in case it wobbles."

The documentary also revisits the story of 12 Canadian women who traveled to London for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. These women returned to Buckingham Palace in 2023, retracing their steps, and were greeted by King Charles. Reflecting on his childhood during his mother's coronation, he shared an endearing anecdote: "My mama used to come up at bath time wearing the crown to practice. You have to get used to how heavy it is."

Directed by Canadian filmmaker Douglas Arrowsmith, "Coronation Girls" offers a heartfelt glimpse into royal history and personal memories. The documentary premieres in Canada on Boxing Day and will be released internationally in 2024.
