When the invitations went out about a month ago, Queen Consort Camilla received a slight but significant upgrade to Queen Camilla. While the change doesn't actually take place until Saturday, after King Charles' coronation, this was deemed to be the most appropriate title to put on the invitations. If you're a fan of British pomp and circumstance, this weekend will bring you great delight. To commemorate the grand event, there's an abundance of memorabilia you can add to your regal collectibles.
A coronation is when a monarch officially receives their regal powers. During the event, the monarch is presented with royal ceremonial objects and crowned in front of several thousand witnesses.
On May 6, following a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey (which is called The King’s Procession), the coronation ceremony for King Charles III will begin. This is expected to take place at 6 a.m. Eastern/3 a.m. Pacific and it will last for roughly two hours. During this time, the Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct the service. Upon completion, the King and Queen will head back to Buckingham Palace in a much larger procession. They will be traveling in the Gold State Coach, which was commissioned in 1760 and built in 1762.
