Almost 70 years after Queen Elizabeth II was anointed, Buckingham Palace is throwing a similar celebration, this time for Charles III and his wife, Lady Camilla, who will be crowned King and Queen on May 6. The historic weekend will include a Coronation Big Lunch, which promises both food and fun, followed by a volunteering event called the Big Help Out. There's also going to be a public Coronation Concert, albeit with an odd lineup of performers – missing some of the biggest UK names and instead including . . . Americans.
In recent months, numerous headliners for Charles' coronation have reportedly declined their invitations to perform. Per the Daily Mail, Adele and Ed Sheeran were the first to say no, even after Charles said he "was very keen that they were part of the concert."
