Here’s a timeline on the life of Britain’s King Charles, who will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony full of pomp, pageantry and solemn religious significance on Saturday
The Gold State Coach is ridden alongside members of the military during a full overnight dress rehearsal of the Coronation Ceremony of Britain’s King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort in London, Britain, May 3, 2023.
There have been 38 monarchs crowned at the abbey - Edward V, one of two young princes believed to have been murdered in the Tower of London in the 15th Century, and Edward VIII, who abdicated to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson, were not crowned.The coronation is not essential and no other monarchy across the globe has an event in the same style. But royal historian Alice Hunt said it had persisted as a means to legitimise the monarch in a public way.
"It has also always retained at its heart, a kind of religious moment of transformation," she said. "Although the monarch is the monarch from the moment the predecessor has died, the language of the coronation ceremony from since it was locked down in the 14th Century has still articulated that the king or queen somehow changes during that ceremony."The coronation ceremony will begin at 1000 GMT following a procession from Buckingham Palace.
A much larger procession will depart the Abbey, made up of armed forces from Britain and across the Commonwealth. The king and queen will travel inwill take an oath to uphold the law and the Church of England.
