King Charles III's "slimmed down" coronation is "unlikely" to include an extra bank holiday, sources have revealed.
Buckingham Place confirmed today the new King will be crowned on Saturday, May 6. The ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey and also see his wife Camila crowned as the new Queen Consort.
The event will form the centrepiece of days of celebration to mark the official beginning of the new king's reign. The Palace said the ceremony will be "rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry" but also "reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future".
