TL;DR

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story on Netflix features a fictionalized version of the coronation of King George III and Queen Charlotte, which took place on September 22, 1761 at Westminster Abbey. The procession and ceremony were so long that they were not crowned until 3.30pm, and the lavish coronation banquet in the Hall followed. The coronation reportedly went on for six hours, and the couple's coronation portraits were completed a year later.
