Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla
Today, May 6, royals and dignitaries from around the world gathered for the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey in London.
The Coronation Ceremony lasted two hours and was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
During the ceremony, both the King and Queen were crowned, anointed, and presented with items of regalia. The Prince of Wales also pledged loyalty to his father.
Following the service, King Charles III and Queen Camilla traveled back to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their children, Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucesters as well as the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra also took part in the procession.
