The King’s Procession Brunch at The Dorchester On the morning of the Coronation, the group was hosted by THE DORCHESTER for a proper British brunch complete with English cheeses and popular British favorites including rhubarb and strawberry trifle. The hotel was draped in the same royal regalia that adorned the building’s façade to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

Coronation Dinner in Honour of His Majesty The King at the Royal Academy of Arts

Guests were greeted at the sweeping entrance staircase by a stunning floral installation by NEILL STRAIN FLORAL COUTURE. A color palette of the Crown Jewels; emerald, sapphire, amethyst, ruby, and topaz, and flowers and plants inspired by the garden at Highgrove, the beloved country home of the King and Queen, were the centerpiece of the event design. This drew the eye to a central alcove where the staircase split where Neill recreated in flowers the Sovereign’s Orb and Sovereign’s Sceptre, seen earlier in the day at the heart of the Coronation service. The orb and sceptre represent the Crown’s power and governance and have been used in the coronation of every British monarch since 1661 when they were created for the coronation of King Charles II.
