United Kingdom and the world is all set to witness King Charles’ coronation on May 6, 2023. He succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth as ruler of the United Kingdom and 14 other nations in September, and he will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday in a ceremony replete with pomp, pageantry, and serious religious significance, suggests a Latestly report.
For the better part of a thousand years, the crowning of England's and Britain's kings and queens has taken place in Westminster Abbey in London, and the ritual has remained mostly unchanged.
The Westminster Abbey has witnessed the crowning of over 38 kings and queens. Though, Edward VIII, who abdicated to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson, and Edward V, who is said to have been one of two young princes who were killed in the Tower of London in the fifteenth century, were not crowned.
Amid the pomp and excitement, many have been confused about the time of the coronation ceremony, when and how it can be watched?
