The solemn official funeral ceremonies witnessed some unique traditions of the British monarchy, including the execution of two classics composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and the head curator of the royal court, Lord Chamberlain, breaking a cane over the coffin of the late queen. .
This tradition is known as “breaking the wand”, which is a symbolic sign of the end of the service of the chief guardian of the royal court. After the wand is broken and the current lord’s service is finished, King Charles will duly appoint his new lord and receive a new wand in charge. According to Sky News Arabia.
The chief secretary, the highest position in the royal court, is responsible for overseeing all departments and staff, organizing royal events, and acting as a liaison between the king and the House of Lords.
