How to watch King Charles' Coronation in US - and when you'll see Princess Kate

If you're a royal fan in the US, you won't want to miss out on next month's historic crowning of the UK's new sovereign.

King Charles II's Coronation will be held in Westminster Abbey in London on May 6 and it's set to be a day to remember, with all the pomp and flair you'd expect.

The main event, will of course be the crowning of Charles alongside Queen Camilla, but there are a host of other events planned too.

The day will start with the King's Procession, which will see the pair travel from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach as thousands line the streets to watch.

According to the palace, there will then be “a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry”, which will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The service will be followed by The Coronation Procession from the Abbey back to Buckingham Palace, in what will be the largest military ceremonial operations for decades.

Later in the day, the King and Queen will greet crowds from the Buckingham Palace balcony for a ceremonial flypast by the UK Armed Forces.

There will also be a star-studded concert featuring Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Take That and Italian singer Andrea Bocelli among others.

Street parties and other festivities have also have been planned up and down the country, and there will be a bank holiday on the Monday to mark the occasion.

US President Joe Biden will not be attending the Coronation, but First Lady Jill Biden will be there. Prince Harry will also be attending but without his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

It will be Harry's his first public appearance with the royal family since the release of his explosive memoir Spare.

How to watch the Coronation in the US

Firstly, if you want to watch it live from the US, you'll need to be up early!

The service starts at 11am UK time, which for anyone in an EST time zone is 6am. If you're in a PST time zone, meanwhile, it's at the rather more inconvenient time of 3am.

If you have cable

For those with cable you can watch special coverage on ABC News and Good Morning America from 5am till 10am. They'll be covering the actual Coronation as well as the concert later on.

You can also stream the coronation on ABC News' digital platforms — including ABCNews.com and GoodMorningAmerica.com — by logging into your ABC account.

BBC News has also confirmed it will be showing extensive coverage of the day on its worldwide BBC News channel.

For those without cable

If you don't have cable, you can catch live coverage of the big day on plenty of live streaming services, including DIRECTV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV and Sling TV.

And if you can't access any of those, head to Sky News' live Youtube channel, which will be covering the event and should be accessible from anywhere in the world.

Of course, if you fancy some sleep (understandable!) we'll have lots of coverage on our royal news pages for you to catch up on when you've woken up.
