Indigenous leaders from a string of former British colonies on Thursday urged King Charles to swiftly apologise for "centuries of racism" and the "legacy of genocide" perpetrated by the crown.

In a staunchly worded letter that could sour the build-up to this weekend's coronation, Indigenous representatives from 12 Commonwealth nations also called for financial reparations and the return of stolen cultural treasures.

The letter was signed by leaders from Australia -- where Indigenous people were massacred by British colonisers and forced off their lands -- as well as several Caribbean nations once plundered for slaves.

The group said they had banded together to help their people "recover from centuries of racism, oppression, colonialism and slavery".&nbsp;

Charles has in recent years stepped up efforts to engage with Indigenous leaders, as the monarchy faces a reckoning over its links to the slave trade and the British Empire's legacy of violence.&nbsp;

Although he has conceded the crown must "acknowledge the wrongs which have shaped our past", the letter implores him to go further by offering a formal, royal apology.&nbsp;

For many, particularly the English conservatives and those in the erstwhile British colonies nursing a hangover, the British monarchy is a source of pride, and its opulence awes rather than repels. For others of more liberal disposition and a leaning more towards the left, it is a dinosaur, an institution that has no place in the modern world prevalent with concepts like democracy and equality. While opinions as to the nature of monarchy as it stands may differ, there is no denying the ample evidence of its dark past, its role in slavery and its treatment of indigenous populations around the world.

WION Wideangle | British monarchy: Relevant or relic?

On Saturday (May 6), King Charles III will be wearing heavy golden robes for the moment of crowning. Prince William will assist his father and help him place the ceremonial robes. The monarch's investiture attire will consist of the Supertunica, the Imperial Mantle, and the Royal Stole along with the St Edward's Crown.

Supertunica is a long shimmering gold-sleeved coat created for George V in 1911. It has been worn by monarchs at successive coronations, including the late Queen Elizabeth II. It weighs about two kilogrammes and is made of gold silk threads, wrapped in thin pieces of gold or silver gilt metal. Its best feature is stylised arabesque embroidery and floral motifs.

On top of Supertunica, Britain's monarch will wear a floor-length cloak called the Imperial Mantle. It fastens across the chest with a golden eagle clasp.&nbsp;

The priest-like mantle was made for George IV in 1821 and weighs about 3 to 4 kg.&nbsp;It is embellished with beautiful motifs like&nbsp;fleur-de-lis and imperial eagles along with national floral emblems of red-pink roses, blue thistles and green shamrocks.&nbsp;Queen Elizabeth II also wore it during her&nbsp;coronation in 1953.

During the crowning&nbsp;ceremony,&nbsp;the Archbishop of Canterbury will place the 2 kg St Edward's Crown on Charles'&nbsp;head. And,&nbsp;that will be&nbsp;the first and only time he will wear that crown, in line with royal traditions that reserve the crown exclusively for the occasion.

It was originally made for the coronation of Charles II in 1661 and later worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her coronation in 1953.

Monarchs in the modern era have consciously opted to reuse&nbsp;some garments, just as Charles has. However, going a step further, he has decided to reuse the coronation sword belt and glove, which are usually made new for every ceremony.

"And it's in keeping with this idea of sustainability and efficiency to reuse these pieces," she added.

Britain's King Charles III, who will officially be coronated later this week on Saturday, will wear clothing that has been previously worn by his antecedents, which include his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and grandfather, King George VI, reported news agency Reuters. Buckingham Palace revealed that many of the regalia date back centuries, but the monarch will also wear some items that have appeared at coronations for centuries to promote sustainability and efficiency. These include the coronation glove made for George VI, which will be re-used rather than making a new one. Charles has long been an advocate of sustainability and has spoken for measures to protect the world's vulnerable populations against climate change.

Deborah Moore, the CEO of Dents, which created the gold-embroidered glove for George VI's coronation in 1937, expressed her delight at the monarch's decision to re-use it, saying, "We've got this wonderful, sustainable, eco-friendly king who's reusing something rather than having a new glove." She also commented on the significance of incorporating heritage into modern times.

She added, "It's also a little bit of heritage, a bit of looking back to the past for our very modern king."

The sustainable King? Charles III to wear previously worn regalia at coronation

London is bustling with excitement and frenzy as the country prepares for the coronation of King Charles III. The stage is set for a weekend of noble pomp and paegentry in the British capital. The event is touted to be an amalgamation of thousand-year-old traditions and contemporary additions to the affair.

UK: Countdown to King Charles' coronation | Preparations underway for Royal crowning

At the Coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty will lead a procession of flag-bearers. A high-ranking cadet of the Royal Air Force (RAF) will carry the UK's flag.

In a series of announcements about the ceremonial duties to be performed at the historic moment when the 74-year-old monarch and his wife Camilla are officially crowned, the palace also confirmed that peers of Indian ancestry will take part in the ceremony, reported Business Insider.&nbsp;

As they present significant components of the royal regalia to King Charles, they will speak for the Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu faiths. One of the first processions into the Abbey will be made up of faith representatives of many religions, in keeping with the concept of diversity and inclusivity&nbsp;for the Christian ceremony.

"The first processions into Westminster Abbey will be made up of faith leaders and faith representatives followed shortly afterwards by representatives from His Majesty's Realms," the palace said.&nbsp; 
 
"Flags of each Realm will be carried by national representatives accompanied by the Governors-General and Prime Ministers. Bearing the flag of the United Kingdom ahead of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty will be Cadet Warrant Officer Elliott Tyson-Lee," it said.&nbsp;

The ceremonial duties on the day involve carrying the regalia in the procession and presenting the items over to the King and Queen. As previously mentioned, Lord Narendra Babubhai Patel, 84, who represents the Hindu religion, will gift Charles with the Sovereign's Ring.

Lord Indrajit Singh, 90, of Sikh faith, will deliver the Coronation Glove, while Lord Syed Kamall, 56, of Indo-Guyanese origins, will present the Armills, or a pair of bracelets, on behalf of the Muslim faith. The Royal Robe will be brought to the King by 64-year-old Jewish baroness Gillian Merron.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Reverend Justin Welby, who will preside over the ceremony, has chosen those presenting the regalia on the recommendation of the British government.

In addition to dukes, bishops, peers, and retired generals, Francis Dymoke, a farmer, will serve as the King's Champion at the ceremony, which is steeped in royal tradition dating back to the 11th century.

"The title of King or Queen's Champion has been held by the Dymoke family since the Middle Ages. The King's Champion would previously ride on horseback into the Coronation Banquet and challenge any who doubted the right of The King or Queen to the throne," the palace revealed.&nbsp; 
 
"There has not been a Coronation Banquet since that held by King George IV in 1821, so the Champion has instead undertaken a different role since, usually bearing a flag or Royal Standard," it noted.&nbsp;

The royal ceremony is likely to feature several firsts, including the historic premiere of minority faiths. On the day of King Charles III's coronation, more than 700 Guardsmen, officers, and musicians practised the procession that will follow the monarch.

King Charles III inheritance and investment, how rich is UK's new monarch?

According to a research release on International Workers Day, the elderly of the UK are continuing to work well into their 70s due to the cost of living crisis. The research draws a comparison between 74-year-old King Charles and his subjects.

Prince William will be honouring his father King Charles III, during his coronation on Saturday. William is also the heir to the throne and on Saturday's ceremony, he will vow his loyalty and allegiance to the king during ceremony. 
 
According to the liturgy of the service, about halfway through the historic ceremony, William will kneel before his father, place his hands between his and recite: "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God." 
 
The Prince of Wales is the only member of the royal family who will honour the King in this manner during the service. He also appears as the Stole Royal as the Robe Royal is presented to the king. William will assist both Baroness Merron and the bishops in placing the robe on Charles.&nbsp; 
 
A similar vow, known as the Homage of Royal Blood, was taken by William's late grandfather Prince Philip during Queen Elizabeth's coronation. Phillip pledged to "liege man of life and limb" to the late queen in 1953. 
 
As per the liturgy, there is a change in tradition when it comes to the Homage of the People. In the past, that role was performed by hereditary dukes and earls at Westminster Abbey during the coronation. 
 
This year, Charles and Archbishop, the Most Rev. and Right Honorable Justin Welby have invited the public to participate in the homage.

UK: Charles III to be crowned as King on May 6; Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle to skip event

With the official accession of British King Charles III looming over everyone’s heads, people sharing his name or that of the Queen Consort Camilla have, in a matter of speaking, won the lottery.

King Charles’ coronation is scheduled for next week, May 6&nbsp;to be exact. To cash in on the festivities surrounding the coronation, opportunistic brands across the United Kingdom have launched marketing campaigns offering freebies to the royal couple’s namesakes.

These freebies range from free coffee to a mini break at fancy resorts. Winners just have to share the name Charles or Camilla and in some instances, even variations of the names will do.

What’s in a name? Apparently a lot, if it’s Charles or Camilla. Bonanza for namesakes

The Stone of Destiny, a sacred slab of sandstone that became a symbol of Scottish nationhood, has left Edinburgh Castle for London, where it will play a key role in King Charles III's coronation.

It has not been taken out of Scotland since 1996 when it was officially returned following a 700-year absence.

The 152-kilogram (335-pound) stone, seized from the Scots by the king of England Edward I in 1296, is being taken to Westminster Abbey in London for the May 6 ceremony.

Officials at Edinburgh Castle, where it is kept with the Scottish crown jewels, held a special ceremony to bid temporary farewell to the legendary stone that left for London late Thursday.&nbsp;

The Stone of Scone, as it is also known, was transported south from Edinburgh under tight security and will be placed beneath the Coronation Chair at the abbey for Charles's enthronement.

Legend has it that the stone was brought from the Holy Land through Egypt, Sicily and Spain to Ireland before being placed in a monastery in Scone in Scotland in the 9th century.

It was then used for centuries in the inauguration of Scottish kings.&nbsp;

But David Breeze, a professor of history and archaeology from the University of Edinburgh, said it is highly likely that the stone originates from the ancient Pictish kingdom of Scotland.

"The origin of the stone has long been shrouded in myth," he told Times Radio.

"The connection with the Middle East is strong and in the Middle Ages the idea that the stone had been Jacob's pillow was used to justify territorial aggrandisement."

- 'Tremendous privilege' -

Edward ordered the stone to be built into the Coronation Chair in London in 1296.

"Edward was making a statement about the status of Scotland," said Ewen Cameron, a professor of Scottish history at the University of Edinburgh.

"One chronicler stated that its removal to London was 'in recognition of a kingdom surrendered and conquered'."&nbsp;

The stone remained in Westminster Abbey for most of the next 650 years, until Christmas Eve 1950 when a group of Scottish students took part in an audacious raid to retrieve it.

A manhunt was launched, with checkpoints set up at the Scottish border, but the students succeeded in smuggling the stone into Scotland.

The students later recounted that they had to secretly employ a stonemason to repair the 335-pound stone after they dropped it and broke it into two as they carried it to their car.

The stone was later found on the site of the High Altar at Arbroath Abbey where, in 1320, Scottish nationhood was declared under the leadership Robert the Bruce.

It was taken back to London in 1951 and returned to Westminster Abbey, where it was placed back in the throne before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

The stone was returned to Edinburgh in 1996 on condition that it only leave Scotland for the coronation of future kings and queens.

Kathy Richmond, head of collections and applied conservation at Historic Environment Scotland (HES) which looks after the stone, said they were working closely with the conservation team at Westminster Abbey on the installation of the stone.

"It is a tremendous privilege for HES to play its part in such a significant and historic occasion," she said.

"It is also a great responsibility to ensure the safe voyage and return of such an important national symbol," she added.
