Coronation of Crown Princess Marian

The coronation of Crown Princess Marian of Redia took place on the crown princess' birthday, May 1, 2010. Marian ascended the heirdom of this country at age 18, upon recounter of her family: King Landon, Queen Laine, Princess Margaret and Princess Mandalyn.

Preparations
Before the crown princess was informed of this, she was taken in etiquette and manner classes for seven years before this event. She was also explained about what she would study after her status as crown princess and future head of state, such as constitutional history and law, as well as normal education, languages, duties, and rehearsals before the coronation.

At age 18, she signed the 'Royal Constitution' and was officially proclaimed 'Crown Princess of Redia' by the Parliament. At age 20, her coronation took place.

Event
The Coronation ceremony of Crown Princess Marian followed a similar pattern to the coronations of the crown princes and crown princesses before her, being held in Redia's Abbey, and involving the peerage and clergy.

Procession
Along a route lined with sailors, soldiers, and airmen and women from across Redia, guests and officials passed in a procession before approximately three million spectators gathered in the streets of Redia, some having camped overnight in their spot to ensure a view of the princess and others having access to specially built stands and scaffolding along the route.

The procession included foreign royalty and heads of state riding to Redia's Abbey in various carriages, so many that volunteers ranging from wealthy businessmen to rural landowners were required to fill the insufficient ranks of regular footmen. The first royal coach left The Redia Palace and moved down, which was filled with flag-waving and cheering crowds. It was followed by the Royal Coach carrying King Landon and Queen Laine. Crown Princess Marian, along with Princess Margaret and Princess Mandalyn, proceeded through Redia from The Redia Palace, through, and towards the abbey in the Gold Coach. The Crown Princess wore a beige dress with transparent sleeveless, not touching the shoulders, and a top-styled-corset.
