King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6 in a coronation ceremony, Buckingham Palace announced.
Following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles is now the oldest person to take the British throne.King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6 in a ceremony that will embrace the past but look to the modern world after the 70-year reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Tuesday's announcement from Buckingham Palace comes amid speculation that the coronation will be shorter and less extravagant than the three-hour ceremony that installed Elizabeth in 1953, in keeping with Charles' plans for a slimmed down monarchy. While the palace provided few details, British media reported that the guest list would be pared to 2,000 from 8,000.
Charles will be crowned in a solemn religious ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, the palace said in a statement. "The coronation will reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry,'' the palace said.
