The Coronation Emblem

This emblem will be featured throughout historic celebrations related to the coronation of King Charles III on May 6, 2023. The emblem pays tribute to The King’s love of the natural world, unifying the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom; the rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the daffodil of Wales and the shamrock of Northern Ireland. Together, the flowers create the shape of St Edward’s Crown, with which His Majesty The King will be crowned during the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, 6th May. The emblem has been designed using the red, white and blue of the union flag. 

The emblem will be featured throughout the historic celebrations in May, including the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey and the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle, as well as national events, street parties and community gatherings. The emblem will also be used for all official merchandise commemorating the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort, and across digital and social media.

The Manhunt Miniseries

We are all anxiously awaiting the release of the “Manhunt” miniseries on Apple TV+.  Last summer, Apple TV used Philadelphia’s Miller Theater to stage the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (which actually took place at the Fords Theater in Washington DC.)    The film crew then spent 5 weeks at Ormiston, turning our 1798 mansion into the film version of Secretary of State William Seward’s home where there was an assassination attempt on his life, the same night that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865.
