While Prince Charles immediately became King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II died, there are still a few steps that must be taken before he is formally crowned. Queen Elizabeth had her coronation over a year after she actually became a monarch. Her father died in February 1952, and, due to an old common law rule in the country enacted to make sure the United Kingdom is never without a monarch, she became queen immediately.
Her coronation, however, did not take place until June 1953. And while one can assume King Charles III will not have his coronation for a few more months, formal steps are already being taken to make his role official. One of those steps is the Accession Council and Principal Proclamation, set to take place Saturday. Here is everything you need to know about what’s to come.
