One month on from King Charles’ accession to the throne following the sad loss of his mother The Queen, thoughts are already moving to the future as the planning for the monarch’s coronation is now in full swing. The historic ceremony will formalise the proceedings and see Charles crowned the King alongside his wife Queen Consort Camilla in a service that is widely expected to be broadcast all around the world.
Rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry, the ceremony will still retain many of the iconic elements that have been part of every coronation dating back almost 1000 years, however Buckingham Palace has since revealed it will also "reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future”, something Charles himself has been passionate about as he bid to modernise the monarchy. With the date for next year’s high profile ceremony revealed on Tuesday evening, here’s everything we know so far about King Charles’ coronation.
When will the Coronation take place? The Coronation has officially been confirmed by Buckingham Palace to be taking place on Saturday May 6th 2023. This is the first Saturday after the May Day bank holiday and also happens to be the birthday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’ s son Archie; the King’s grandson.
Traditionally coronations have always been held in the week, with The Queen’s own coronation having taken place on a Tuesday, however a weekend coronation has likely been selected to provide the least disruption to businesses around the country. With this in mind, Brits hoping to get an extra bank holiday are sadly out of luck, as under the slimmed down coronation plans, an additional bank holiday is looking exceedingly unlikely.
