While the King was immediately named the new monarch upon the death of his beloved mother the Queen, a historical coronation will take place next year to officially mark his reign.
The high-profile event will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey and Palace officials say it will be "rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry". The royal ceremony, which will be conducted be the Archbishop of Canterbury, will also see Queen Consort Camilla be crowned alongside her husband.
An occasion of this significance is expected to see thousands of guests attend, but the Mirror reports that the King has made plans for a scaled back coronation. It is understood that the ceremony will include the same core elements of the traditional service, but the Palace added that it will also "reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future".
