Stone of Scone that will be crucial to the Coronation of King Charles III?

The legendary symbol of the Scottish monarchy was used for centuries to inaugurate Scotland’s kings, but now it is set to be used by King Charles III at his Coronation in May.

The Stone of Destiny, a historical artefact connected to Scotland, is at the heart of a controversy as the Coronation of King Charles III is just over the horizon in early May.

After the announcement that the legendary stone, also known as the Stone of Scone, would be moved from Edinburgh to Westminster Abbey to play a ‘crucial role’ at the royal event, the idea was widely criticised.

The Royal Family’s regalia features jewels and St Edward’s Crown so an ancient rock that isn’t dazzling may not seem important but it is, in fact, of huge cultural significance. Here’s what the Stone of Destiny is, how it will feature in King Charles III’s coronation and where the stone is now.
