King Charles III is expected to have his coronation on June 3 next year in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey and discussions over which days will be bank holidays are ongoing, according to reports.
Unnamed officials reportedly briefed media outlets the coronation would be next June - most likely the third. But a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said any reports on a date is "purely speculation".
If the coronation does fall on this date, it will be almost 70 years to the day after his late mother was crowned. The event will form the centrepiece of days of celebration to mark the official beginning of King Charles III's reign.
