The Royal Collection Trust has decided that the timing is right to announce the various exhibits that will be on in celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.
A Platinum Jubilee cannot be celebrated with just one exhibit, though, so here is what they have announced will be on:

Having been there on my trip to London in 2018, I can tell you that the Gold State Coach is quite the site to behold, and I have no idea how they would move it when needed, the folks at the Mews are magic…that’s the only answer I can think up.
