King Charles’ secondcoronation celebrationwill include some new royal regalia.

On Friday, the government of Scotland announced that a new ceremonial sword of state will be presented to the King, 74, during theNational Service of Thanksgiving and Dedicationat St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on July 5. The blade was named afterQueen Elizabethand is being swapped into the Honours of Scotland because the existing sword in the historic suite (over 500 years old!) is too delicate to use.

“It will be an incredible honour to carry the Elizabeth Sword on such a historic day for Scotland. I hope I can do the sword, and the occasion, justice,” Grainger said in a statement. “It promises to be a day of enormous celebration for the King and for the country and I feel immensely lucky to be able to play a part.”

The Honours of Scotland are Scotland’s crown jewels, and the oldest crown jewels in all of Britain. The three-part suite is comprised of the Crown of Scotland, which was made for King James V of Scotland in the 16th century, a gold sceptre and King James IV’s sword of state.

While the original sword will be switched for the upcoming coronation celebration, the rest of the regalia will be used. The Scottish government also announced Friday that Lady Dorrian, The Lord Justice Clerk, will bear the sceptre, while the Duke of Hamilton carries the Crown of Scotland.
