History has it recorded today 6th May, 2023 as King Charles III is been crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey at a solemn Christian coronation steeped in 1,000 years of history and tradition, but adapted to reflect 21st-century Britain.
It is also noted that the build-up to the ceremony for the religious confirmation of Charles’s accession after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September has been mostly celebratory.
The turnout of the Coronation ceremony was massive and colourful as thousands of dignitaries from different spheres of the world attended in grand style to witness the crowning of the Royals, the King Charles III which attracted so much rousing ovation at the central London, on Saturday, having a sea of Union Jack flags queued up on the streets just for the coronation of King Charles III.
Also the wife of King Charles III, Camilla was also crowned on Saturday at same Westminster Abbey, bolden her public evolution from royal mistress to “Queen Consort” to queen in her own right.
Camilla, 75, was crowned by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby moments after Charles’s own coronation as sovereign of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms.
However, before Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, left Buckingham Palace for a rainy procession to the abbey, police also arrested dozens of protesters powers rushed onto the statute book to crack down on direct action groups.
Ofcourse in every event in life, there is always a no no opposers, the anti-monarchy movement Republic indicating interest for an elected head of state saying, six of its organisers were detained, while climate activists Just Stop Oil said 19 of its number also held.
Congratulations to King Charles III & Queen Camilla!
