Charles III will be crowned King of England on May 6, 2023

MADRID, 11 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Buckingham Palace has announced this Tuesday that the coronation of King Charles III of England will take place on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London, in a historic ceremony in which Camila, queen consort, will also be designated. albeit in an event with less pomp and pageantry.

Carlos III acceded to the throne a month ago now after the long reign of his mother Elizabeth II. The new monarch will be crowned at the age of 74 and will thus become the latest coronation in the history of this monarchy, as well as the first in almost 70 years.

Buckingham has said the symbolic ceremony will combine "long-standing" traditions while "reflecting the role of the monarch today" with a look "towards the future".

The anointing will be presided over and blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and it is expected that it will not last for almost three hours as it did for Elizabeth II, nor will it have such a large guest list, according to royal sources told the BBC.

The coronation date will also coincide with the fourth birthday of his great-grandson Archie, son of his grandson Enrique and Meghan Marckle, the Dukes of Sussex.
