10th 1825 Alnwick Coach Coronation Luxurious Northumberland Personal Representative Tenth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent State Coach, a prized possession of the Northumberland Family, hails from Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England. Dating back to the early 19th century, this luxurious carriage once carried the 3rd Duke of Northumberland as a personal representative of King George IV to the coronation of King Charles X in France in 1825. The Duke's significant role in the coronation ceremony marked an important moment in Anglo-French relations during a time of political tension between the two nations. The State Coach, with its ornate gold trim, intricate designs, and plush interior, was a fitting mode of transport for such an esteemed representative. In the late 19th century, the carriage underwent a meticulous repainting for use at the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the State Coach once again graced a momentous occasion – the wedding of the present Duke's eldest daughter, Katie, in 2011. The history of this State Coach is a testament to the rich heritage and grandeur of the Northumberland Family and the significance of Alnwick Castle in British history. The carriage, with its intricate details and regal presence, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire awe in all who behold it.
