royal carriage

King's wheeled transport

A royal carriage is a horse-drawn vehicle used by monarchs and their families for ceremonial occasions—coronations, weddings, state openings of parliament.

These ornate coaches carry symbolic weight beyond transportation: The royal carriage processed through crowds lining the Mall.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for any grand conveyance or bearing fit for royalty.
