On Saturday, May 6, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s first son, Charles, will be crowned king in the United Kingdom. The date of the coronation ceremony was set for September 8, one month after the Queen’s death. 70 years have passed since the last time the crown passed into the hands of the successor; this time the party lasts for three days.

While all descendants of the Windsor family are expected to be present at the coronation, only Henry, Duke of Sussex is likely to be present at the event; while the Duchess of Sussex, Megahn Markle, will stay home in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Carlos’s official accession to the throne took place on September 8, 2022, but the coronation ceremony is a symbolic formality with a long historical tradition, where thousands of guests will attend, while the rest of humanity can enjoy the live broadcast, so the details for the broadcast are already being finalized through various media.

It is expected that actions related to the coronation of King Carlos III and his wife last for 3 days and last all weekend anyway, as in the UK Monday is a public holiday for the event, from Saturday 6 until on Monday 8 from May.
