this photo is from prince charles’ investiture as the prince of wales on july 1, 1969. fun fact: charles’ coronet was designed specially for him and was not nearly as valuable or fancy as it looks. making it entirely out of real gold and other such materials would have resulted in a coronet that was very heavy and difficult to wear, so in actuality, the little gold ball on the top was plastic and painted gold.
