The Contrasting Reactions to King Charles III's Coronation
TL;DR Summary
King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey in a globally broadcast spectacle that combined medieval and modern elements. The service was shortened to two hours and included representatives from various faiths. Prince William played a prominent role, while Prince Harry was a guest. The new king vowed to serve and not be served, and his wife, Queen Camilla, was also anointed and crowned. The procession back to Buckingham Palace was the most celebrated moment, with the king and queen riding in the Gold State Coach. The monarchy remains ingrained in British DNA, but many are apathetic about it.
