King Charles III put a modern sartorial spin on his coronation look.While much of the British monarch's coronation on Saturday inside Westminster Abbey complied with long-held tradition and protocol, Queen Elizabeth's firstborn son took some liberties with his wardrobe for the occasion — and they did not go unnoticed.
