Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

When a throne, like the one in Westminster is back in storage, is it then just a chair?

thank you it is a wonderful chair I seen it in 2019

I just found your channel and find it very interesting. Could you possibly do a video on what exactly the king/queen and royal family do since they don't rule the country like in times past. Can you also explain what are dukes, earls, lords etc and how do they obtain those titles.

That is fascinating! But I noticed the Saint Edward's chair is on two steps so wouldn't that make it a throne going by your definition?

Very interesting bit of history.

All the nuances of being a King or Queen, how much different are other royal traditions in other countries or families?

God save the King.

I keep hearing it's named the St Edward's Chair, and some as King Edward's chair. Although St Edward was actually a King too. Is there an official name for it?

These chairs all look uncomfortable. I would have thought thee cushions would be thicker n more decorative. The back rest in general looks hard.

Here's a legitimate challenge for you to tackle, preferably *BEFORE* 6 May, 2023, but will understand if you can't find the time or information: why is a "privy," or loo (or in Emoticon: 🚽), also called a "throne?" It's generally not on a raised platform, nor is it genuinely privileged to be seated there. I ask as an American follower, and someone who has an interest in history (if you call 2 PhDs in the subject interest). I also ask because we all have a 12 year old inside of us that has probably wondered if there was any "Royal connection," or whatever.

Very few seats are Thrones in their own right, fewer than (royal) chairs designated by their use.....the ultimate Thrones that come to mind are the (imperial) Throne of Charlemagne in Aachen, and the Peacock Throne....it may be a matter of Language as well, as for example in german language a Throne would be referred to any royal chair, of fancy decoration used in official royal representative function - whereas a Thronsessel (Throne Chair) would be lesser than an actual Königsthron or Kaiserthron (kings- or emperors Throne), there is also a distinction downscaled for a Princes chair (Prinzenthron). The piece of Furniture not used in representative function would be referred to as Thronsessel (but only if movable), this in distinction to the Charlemagne Throne which is (of Marble) immovable and somehow in its function perpetual, thus representing the perpetuity (of the roman empire itself). An then there ist the term Throne itself, circumstantial and regionally it was used equal to the term "the crown" as it still is in Britain. It is in most cases of representation very much correct to state that a throne is put on a platform and reachable via steps - deriving from the great halls and aulae regia (one roman example remaining in Trier/Augusta Treverorum) of the past, - I do think it is quite interesting though, to reflect on these things.

Did the king have a throne this time? I don’t recall the chair he sat on being raised.

But... they are both above floor level. It's on its own raised platform.
