Charles automatically ascended to the throne when Elizabeth died on Sept. 8.
There is no legal requirement for a coronation, and other European monarchies have done away with the ceremonies.
Elizabeth II’s coronation in June 1953 was the first to be televised live. It drew an audience of tens of millions in Britain and was later played to a worldwide audience. In the age of streaming and social media, people will be able to watch Charles’ crowning live from virtually anywhere on the planet and post their hot takes with a crown emoji created for the occasion.Article content
The U.S. will keep alive its streak of a president never attending a British royal coronation, although first lady Jill Biden is set to attend. While Harry will be there, the duchess is to remain at the couple’s Southern California home with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Crowds are expected to line the streets to cheer the new king, and throngs will stand outside Buckingham Palace waiting for him to appear on the balcony after the procession.
