Britain is celebrating the start of a new reign of King Charles III the eldest son of the longest-reigning monarch. By definition since the moment of passing away of the Queen in September, her eldest son Charles has been King of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So Charles III will be 'Crowned' on May 6th and not “Coronated” – in Westminster Abbey, as his mother was in June 1953.
As part of the celebrations marking the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, more than 6,000 members of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces will proudly wear their military uniforms on Saturday, May 6, in order to take part in two ceremonial parades. These parades will be held as a part of the celebrations for King Charles III and Queen Camilla's coronation. The public will hang the bunting in royal colours (red, white, and blue), wave flags and gather in the streets for parties. Britain as a whole will have a good time. It’s a historic royal occasion happening in Britain after the coronation of Late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She ruled Britain from February 1952 until her death in 2022.

Coronation in Britain is happening after long years. People with ages greater than 75 have the best chance of remembering the last coronation, which took place in 1953. The coronation of King Charles, who is the 62nd British monarch, will take place at London's Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. This will be the 40th Royal Coronation that has taken place at Westminster Abbey, which has been the location of the Royal Coronation for the past 900 years. When the coronation of King Charles takes place in Westminster Abbey, he will be the oldest monarch ever to be crowned there.

When this significant event in history takes place, we look into the schedule for the Coronation service and some of the interesting facts that are associated with it.

From Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, the royal procession will cover a distance of 1.3 miles. They will travel on the Diamond Jubilee state carriage, which has air conditioning and electric windows, and was originally used by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. The Westminster abbey is preparing for approximately two thousand visitors. First Lady Jill Biden is here to represent President Joe Biden of the United States. Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is going to be in charge of leading the service, and it will start off with the King taking the Coronation Oath. Then, while he is seated in Saint Edward's chair, which dates back 700 years, he and the Queen will be anointed with "Holy oil" that was blessed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The next step is to crown the King with the Crown of Saint Edward, which was originally used during the coronation of King Charles II in 1661. Additionally, the Sovereign's Orb, Ring, and Sceptre will be presented to His Majesty as part of the coronation regalia that he will receive. Queen Camilla will be crowned with Queen Mary's Crown which will feature Diamonds from Queen Elizabeth’s collection. During the service, a 12 piece of music, chosen by the King will be performed. Among them will be a Coronation Anthem based on Psalm 98. In memory of the King's late father, Prince Philip, there will be a performance of Greek Orthodox music.

Following the conclusion of the service, the King will leave the Abbey accompanied by the Queen while wearing the Imperial State Crown. After leaving the church grounds, the procession will head back to Buckingham Palace. They will travel in a four-ton Gold State Coach that was built in 1762 and will be hauled by eight Windsor Grey Horses. This particular coach has been used in every coronation since William IV's in 1831. In order to catch a glimpse of the procession, Central London will be crowded with people in a sea of red, white, and blue. The King and Queen will be greeted with a Royal Salute and three cheers from members of the Armed Forces upon their return to Buckingham Palace with the rest of the Royal Family. Later, they will make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside working members of the Royal Family. There, they will wave to the crowds that have gathered outside and witness a spectacular fly-past performed by the Royal Air Force in their honour.

The coronation that will take place in 2023 will follow some of the same traditions as the coronation that took place seven decades ago. The white satin coronation gown worn by Queen Elizabeth II had designs from both Britain and other commonwealth countries. There will be participation from the commonwealth countries as well. The Saint Edward's chair, which dates back 700 years, will be the focal point of attention at the coronation. The chair brings to life a complex history of the Royal Family. When Queen Mary II was crowned in 1689, a replica of this chair from the 14th century was built specifically for the occasion so that she and her husband, King William III, may be crowned together. When it is not being used, the chair that is nine feet and six inches tall can be found in the St. George's Chapel in Westminster Abbey. The chair was originally designed to hold the 'Stone of Scone', a Scottish symbol of monarchy that King Edward Ist captured and brought back to England. It was enclosed in a wood platform that served as the seat of the chair. The stone was returned to Scotland in 1996, but for Charles' coronation, it will be transported from Edinburgh Castle Scotland to Westminster Abbey in London.

Since 1660, the crowns that Charles III and Camilla wear have been kept under lock and key at the Tower of London. As Charles III and Camilla take their places in history, the crowns they wear will become another focus of attention. Because of its historical and cultural significance, there is no possible price for it. However, experts have estimated that its value is somewhere between £3.5 and £5 billion pounds, which is a staggering sum of money. The Imperial State Crown is the most valuable piece in the Royal Collection, and it contains 2868 diamonds, one of which is the 317.4-carat Cullinan II. The Imperial State Crown is estimated to be worth £2.5 billion. The Crown of Saint Edward is estimated to be worth £3.6 million, while the Crown of Queen Mary is estimated to be worth $52 million, and Sovereign's Orb is estimated to be worth £175,000. The Sovereign's Sceptre is worth a staggering £700 million since it contains the diamond Cullinan I, which is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world and is also known as the "Great Star of Africa." Cullinan, I weigh 530.2 carats.

The 14th of November 1948 was the day that King Charles IIIrd was born. His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George was the name that was given to him at birth. When his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, took the throne as Queen after the tragic death of his father, King George IV, he became the apparent heir to the kingdom at the young age of three. Balmoral, the royal family's residence in Scotland, was where Charles spent a lot of his time. Since 1852, when Prince Albert made the purchase on behalf of Queen Victoria, the British royal family has called Balmoral Castle in Scotland their official residence.

In 1958, Charles was elevated to the position of Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. Tabloids called him the 'playboy prince' after being romantically linked to a number of young women, nicked named 'Charlie's Angels'. Royal analysts estimated that he had approximately 20 romances between the years 1967 and 1980, the year in which he began dating Lady Diana Spencer, who would later become his wife. On July 29, 1981, an estimated television audience of 750 million people around the world tuned in to watch the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Sadly the couple separated in 1992 and divorced four years later. In a tragic turn of events, Diana, Princess of Wales, passed away in a vehicle accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. Her death came five years after she and Charles finalised their divorce. On April 9, 2005, Charles wed Camilla Parker Bowles, who had previously been married. The King of England has five grandchildren in total. Prince William and Katie Middleton are the parents of three royal children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince Harry and Megan Markel are the proud parents of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Charles always had a close relationship with his father's uncle, Lord Mountbatten who was the last Viceroy of India in March 1947. Lord Mountbatten was the driving force for the division of India and Pakistan into two separate countries. Following the partition of India, Lord Mountbatten took the role of the country's first Governor-General and held that position until June 1948. King Charles III's official work began after he was proclaimed King two days following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Prior to that, he had spent more than seven decades working alongside his mother in preparation for his role as monarch.

When a new government is formed in the United Kingdom, the Monarch is required to accept the resignation of the previous Prime Minister before appointing the new Prime Minister and requesting that they put together an administration. During her reign of 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II has seen 15 different people serve as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The King, in his role as Sovereign of the United Kingdom, will attend each state Opening of the UK Parliament. During these Openings, the King will read a speech that was written by the Government and will outline their impending goals. Charles will become the second monarch to feature on a Bank of England note. The Royal Mint, which is responsible for issuing coins, is currently working on creating his profile coins. Even though there is a new monarch on the throne, all coins and notes currently in circulation in the United Kingdom that feature Queen Elizabeth II will continue to be accepted as legal money. This does not mean that there will never be any coins featuring the face of Charles III. The Royal Mint has already struck coins for 50 pence, and those coins have been released into circulation. On a coin, the King's head will always be oriented to the left, while the Queen's will always be facing to the right. His Majesty's name will appear on each and every new passport that is issued by the United Kingdom. The new 'cypher' will be featured on military uniforms and police helmets. The cypher is the Sovereign's monogram and consists of the initials of the monarch's name, Charles, and title, Rex – Latin for King, and a symbol of the Crown. The title of the barrister will change from Queen's Counsel (QC) to King's Counsel (KC) in the near future. From now on UK's National Anthem will be 'God save our gracious King! Long live our noble King! God save the King! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the King!
