______________________________

On Tuesday evening, Buckingham Palace released an official statement in which it revealed the date and place of the upcoming coronation of Charles III. Note that Charles automatically became king at the same moment how his mother died, Elizabeth II, however, according to tradition, he has yet to go through the operation “Golden Power”. Note that the new queen consort Camilla is also crowned together with her husband, which was not originally planned.

The coronation of His Majesty the King will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey. – At the Ceremony, His Majesty King Charles III will be crowned along with the Queen Consort.

Previously reportedthat the coronation of Charles will take place on June 2 or 3 on the same day in 1953, Elizabeth was crowned when she was only 27 years old. Charles, on November 14, will turn 74 years old and he is in the lead in the list of monarchs who waited the longest for their turn to the throne. Coincidence or not, but the new date for the ceremony, May 6, is the birthday of Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

It is expected that the ceremony and subsequent celebrations will be more modest than once at Elizabeth’s – this time the budgets will be significantly reduced. During the coronation, which will last only one hour and will be the shortest coronation ceremony in British history, Charles will be sworn in to the state and will be blessed by the archbishop, after which he will receive the scepter and the crown of St. Edward. It is known that representatives of the Chambers of Parliament and the Church, as well as prime ministers and prominent citizens of the Commonwealth countries have already been invited to the ceremony. Note that the other day, insiders told the press more details of the upcoming coronation.

Recall that almost immediately after the death of the queen in early September, Charles addressed the people for the first time in a new role, and also appeared before Parliament and sat on the throne along with Queen Consort Camilla. And last week, Buckingham Palace published new official portrait “Fab Four” Carl, Camille, William and Kate in new titles.
