King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London. The coronation will involve King Charles being crowned and Camilla being crowned Queen.
What is a coronation?
A coronation is both the symbolic religious ceremony during which a sovereign is crowned and the physical act of placing a crown on a monarch’s head. It formalises the monarch’s role as the head of the Church of England and marks the transfer of their title and powers.
