George IV is visible on the right, underneath a canopy held by his attendants. He is wearing the crimson velvet robe and crown he commissioned especially for the ceremony; Parliament refused to purchase the crown afterwards, and he was forced to give it back. He also chose Tudor-inspired costumes for the lords in the procession. Notably absent is the Queen, Caroline of Brunswick, who had spent most of George's regency in exile: the couple hated each other.
