King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla were crowned in a lavish coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey as tens of thousands of people crowded into central London. It was the first time in seven decades that a coronation event took place in Britain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles was formally crowned on May 6, 2023, marking the first coronation for the British monarchy since his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned in 1953.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coronation ceremony was attended by more than 2,200 people from 203 countries, including 100 distinguished guests, while millions of people watched the ceremony live on their TV screens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the second time in the long-rooted history that the two-hour-long service and coronation ceremony was televised live to an audience of millions of people worldwide. Gun salutes were paid to the newly crowned king from the Tower of London as well as in Gibraltar, Bermuda, and other British offshore territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
