King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, have been crowned in an elaborate ceremony at Westminster Abbey, in the company of family, faith leaders and more than 2,000 guests. It’s the first coronation in 70 years, and the pomp was on full display.
King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, have been crowned in an elaborate ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on Saturday, in the company of family, faith leaders and more than 2,000 guests.
Prince George, the eldest son of Prince William and his wife, Kate, served as a page boy, helping to make sure his grandfather’s robe didn’t get dirty after he stepped out of the carriage.Prince Harry arrived wearing a morning suit with gray trousers, rather than military dress. Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped down from official royal duties and are embroiled in a public rift with Harry’s father and brother.
During the service, Charles put his hand on the bible and took the coronation oath. Hidden by a screen for privacy, he was anointed with holy oil on his hands, chest and head — the only moment of the ceremony not visible to attendees or the public. The Prince and Princess of Wales traveled in a separate carriage, along with their children, George, Charlotte and Louis. In a sign of the lingering family feud, Prince Harry was spotted getting into a car alone after the ceremony.
