King Charles III is expected to be officially crowned King in Spring 2023 on a special date that pays homage to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Charles was formally proclaimed as King just two days after the Queen’s death, but his official coronation is yet to take place. Evidently in no major rush for the historic event to take place, it’s believed King Charles, 73, will have his coronation on the 70th anniversary of his mother’s special day.
A source said: “There is no rush for the coronation and there is an awful lot of planning that needs to be done. But it will be in May or June depending on what is going on in the world.” They continued to tell The Sun: “It potentially could happen on the anniversary of the Queen’s coronation on June 2 — that is one thing that is naturally considered. “While the family remains in official royal mourning until next Monday nothing will be finalised very soon.
But everyone is aware that it must happen next year and May or June is the preferred time.” Following the Queen’s very public funeral, the King has jetted off to Scotland alongside his wife, Queen Consort Camilla to grieve Her Majesty’s death in private.
