6 May 2023 – Another historic moment in UK history and the second televised coronation. In addition to the United Kingdom, residents of 14 other Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand, followed the events with suspicious eyes. At the site in London, people would congregate for days by pitching tents along Mull Street, the road that led to the coronation site, Westminster Abbey.
The crowning moment of the ceremony came when the Archbishop of Canterbury placed St. Edward III’s crown on it. At the head of King Charles. The 360-year-old crown, made of pure 22-carat gold, is more than 30 centimeters high and weighs more than two kilograms. So the crown was placed on Karoli’s head, and the words “God save the King!” were immediately said.
And while this may have been the historic moment, there was an even more emotional moment, right after the coronation, when Prince William pledged his loyalty to his father. Those who watched the live broadcast carefully could see that Carolei watched with tears in his eyes as Prince Filmos joined the ceremony.

After Charles’ coronation, Camilla was crowned queen. “While Charles was always destined to be king and wear a crown, who would have been so confident that we would witness Camilla’s coronation here? Camilla is no longer entitled to the royal conjugal title. We are living under King Charles and Queen Camilla.” He writes BBC.
