royal pageantry
Monarchs on parade
Royal pageantry is the elaborate ceremony, display, and spectacle associated with monarchies—coronations, state funerals, royal weddings, and formal processions.
The term encompasses the costumes, regalia, carriages, guards, and ritualized traditions that surround such events: The coronation featured all the royal pageantry the British do so well.
It often implies grandeur that is impressive but perhaps excessive or antiquated.
