The Coronation of King Charles III (1948(2022-    ) and Queen Camilla (b.1947) took place on Saturday 6th May 2023 at Westminster Abbey, London. 

​

The ceremony was structured around an Anglican service of Holy Communion.  It included The King taking an oath, being anointed with holy oil, and receiving the coronation regalia, emphasising his spiritual role and secular responsibilities.  Representatives of the Church of England and the British Royal Family declared their allegiance to him, and for the first time - the people throughout the Commonwealth Realms were also invited to do so.  The Queen was also crowned (the first time since 1937 a Queen Consort was crowned) in a shorter and simpler ceremony.  The service was altered from past Coronations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom.
