King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a dinner at Mansion House to recognize the work of the City of London civic institutions and Livery Companies, upholding ancient traditions including the Pearl Sword ceremony
All about the role of the Pearl Sword, first presented to the City of London Corporation by Queen Elizabeth in 1571On Wednesday, the royal couple attended a dinner at Mansion House to recognize the work of the City of London's civic institutions and Livery Companies, the city’s ancient and modern trade guilds.
Upon their arrival, King Charles participated in the Pearl Sword ceremony. Representing the authority of the Lord Mayor in the City of London, the King was presented with the sword. King Charles then returned the Pearl Sword, confirming the Lord Mayor's authority when the monarch is not present. King Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth, performed the ceremony in 1953 following her own coronation and again in 1977 and 2022 to mark important jubilees.
Before 1641, the monarch would take the sword for the duration of their visit, but in 1641, King Charles I immediately returned it to the Lord Mayor, a practice that continued ever since. The custom of surrendering the Lord Mayor’s sword to the monarch was first recorded in 1392 when the Lord Mayor offered his sword to King Richard II.
The King and Queen then joined a reception where they met representatives of the City of London Corporation, the Common Council, the Livery Companies and the City’s finance sector.
