After the death of the late Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022, the United Kingdom is preparing to officially crown its new monarch. Charles III and his wife Camilla Parker Bowler will receive the honors next Saturday, May 6 at Westminster Abbey. After the anointing, Charles will be crowned and then enthroned. The Royal Family will then rally Buckingham Palace in a state procession. The royal couple will then come to greet the British people from the balcony.
This is a historic event. The last coronation (that of Elizabeth II) took place 70 years ago on June 2, 1953. It was also the first televised coronation. At the time, the ceremony sparked a TV buying frenzy in the UK. 20 million people had watched the festivities in private homes across the country.
