Both fragments are shaped as crosses, one measuring 1cm and the other 5mm. They have now been set into the larger silver cross behind a rose crystal gemstone. On the day of his coronation, the cross will be used to lead the procession into Westminster Abbey, a decision said to reflect the King’s “deep and long standing affection for Wales.”The cross was crafted from recycled silver bullion from the Royal Mint at Llantrisant, a shaft of Welsh windfall timber and a stand of Welsh slate.
In November, the King became the first monarch to apply the “King’s Mark” – a leopard’s head – by hand onto the cross. It will be blessed by the Archbishop of Wales, Andrew John, at Holy Trinity Church, Llandudno today.
