Most likely, King Charles won\u2019t be riding in a Czech-made Skoda<\/a> this weekend when he is crowned king of England, even though the car company has introduced a Coronation Edition in a \u201cRoyal Green\u201d<\/a> color<\/a> \u201cin honor of the Coronation.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, should they ride to the fancy investiture at Westminster Abbey in a home-grown Bentley<\/a>, the royal tushes <\/em>of he and Queen Camilla may be resting on bespoke, handcrafted \u201ccabin cushions\u201d created by Bentley<\/a>\u2019s \u201cDream Factory\u201d to celebrate the occasion (not likely, since the royal couple is expected to travel in the 260-year-old Gold State Coach<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The upcoming, day-long event has inspired lots of tchotchkes<\/em> of course \u2014 chocolate Charleses, crowns for dogs, Lego kings \u2014 as well as an outpouring of affection by the public and commercial opportunities to sell them things royalty-related.<\/p>\n

On the matter of the new King\u2019s rear end, the Bentley cushions are described as being quite fabulous. It took craftsmen three days to embroider them with the special \u201cCoronation Emblem,\u201d which consists, according to the firm, “of two separate thread colours … three different colourways of the emblem were used, to contrast the individually-selected hides for different colours of cushions to match the interiors of the Bentleys<\/a> that will use them.” The colors of the cushions include Cricketball and Cumbrian Green, accented by piping of Beluga, Porpoise, Newmarket Tan and Imperial Blue respectively.<\/p>\n

Should they require more modern transportation, a fleet of Bentleys will be on hand for special guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regarding the Skodas<\/a>, the Royal Green color<\/a> will be available to order by commoners as well as by the royal couple, available on selected Superb, Kodiaq and Octavia models in the UK.<\/p>\n
