It’s the moment royal enthusiasts have all been waiting for: the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Charles and Camilla will be crowned in Westminster Abbey on Saturday May 6, 2023.
It’s the same place every British monarch has been crowned for over 900 years. The last coronation was held in June 1953, when Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, became the reigning monarch.
That means for many royal watchers, and Charles’ esteemed guests, seeing the coronation on television this weekend is a once in a lifetime experience.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was also in attendance, following private meetings with King Charles III and Prince William in recent days.
“It was a pleasure to meet King Charles III again at Buckingham Palace, and an honour to represent Australia at his coronation,” tweeted Albanese.
During their meeting, Albanese extended a formal invite for the new King to visit Australia.
2000 guests received this official invitation to the coronation.
