ROYAL PROTOCOL: A COMPARATIVE STUDY TO THE SPANISH, ENGLISH, AND DUTCH ROYAL HOUSEHOLD

Abstract

This is a comparative study of the last three coronations of the Spanish monarchy under Felipe VI, the British monarchy under Charles III and the monarchy of the Netherlands under Willem-Alexander. All the elements of each ceremony are analyzed, highlighting similarities and differences in aspects such as tradition, protocol, guests, royalties, history and symbolism, focusing on the cultural and political context of each and how each monarchy has adapted its ceremonies to contemporary challenges.
