Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday that King Charles III will be crowned on Saturday, May 6, 2023, but offered few clues about how the ancient religious ceremony of coronation might differ from the last one in 1953.
The new king’s coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey, as per tradition; most of the United Kingdom’s monarchs have been crowned there over the last 900 years.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct the service and crown him, as has been tradition since 1066. The current leader of the Church of England is Justin Welby.
And His Majesty will be crowned alongside his second wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, the palace statement said.
The king is expected to sign a proclamation formally declaring the date of the coronation at a meeting of the Privy Council later this year, the statement added.
