A Look Back at Royal Coronations: From Queen Elizabeth II to King Charles.
TL;DR Summary
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned 70 years ago at Westminster Abbey, becoming the world's oldest and longest reigning monarch. Her coronation was the first in Britain's history to be broadcast on television. Her husband, Prince Philip, was not crowned alongside her and was titled as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. King Charles III, who will be crowned on May 6, has already developed a reputation for wanting a slimmed-down monarchy, which may translate to a less spectacular coronation weekend.
