The coronation proceedings will consist of a three-day-long celebration, starting with the service at Westminster Abbey on 6 May.

According to Buckingham Place, the Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct the service. It will reflect the Monarch’s current and future role while paying tribute to longstanding traditions and pageantry.

King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla will arrive at Westminster Abbey in a royal procession from Buckingham Palace. This is known as “The King’s Procession.”
