The "Lord High Steward" is a ceremonial position in the British monarchy, traditionally responsible for overseeing royal ceremonies and events. This role dates back to the medieval period and has evolved over time, often associated with the management of the royal household and the administration of justice. In modern times, the Lord High Steward is primarily a symbolic title, usually held by a senior member of the royal family or a distinguished noble. The position is most prominently recognized during the coronation of a new monarch, where the Lord High Steward plays a key role in the proceedings, representing the authority of the crown.
