King Charles III's coronation will be a momentous occasion - but the date the ancient ceremony is taking place has provided an awkward clash for some members of the royal family. The new Monarch will be crowned on Saturday May 6, 2023, amid great pageantry in Westminster Abbey during six basic phases - the recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture which includes the crowning, the enthronement and the homage.
While the guest list has yet to be confirmed, it will be expected that all members of the royal family will be joined by world leaders, state dignitaries and religious figures to see King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla being crowned. However, the date is unfortunate timing for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - as they would have been expecting to celebrate another big milestone on that day.
