King Charles and Queen Camilla coronation invitation – take a look at the ornate design

The first glimpse of the coronation invitation shows the official use of “Queen Camilla”, marking the transition from the title of “Queen Consort“.

The ornately illustrated invitation, sent to about 2,000 guests, is from “King Charles III and Queen Camilla“.

Her grandchildren will be among the pages at Westminster Abbey, alongside the King’s grandson, Prince George.

With a month to go before the coronation, a new official photo of the royal couple has also been released.

The invitation for the 6 May coronation, printed on recycled paper, shows the coronation will mark a change in how Camilla is titled.

A royal source suggested that in the initial part of the new reign it made sense to use “Queen Consort” as a way of distinguishing her from the late Queen Elizabeth. But from the coronation it would be an “appropriate time” to officially change to “Queen Camilla”.

The invitation was designed by heraldic artist Andrew Jamieson, who had never seen the King’s childhood invitation. It was personally chosen by the monarch after members of the Art Workers’ Guild, of which he is an honorary member, were asked to submit designs.
