Britain’s King Charles III to be crowned in May

Britain’s King Charles III will be crowned at London’s Westminster Addey next May in a ceremony set to follow the traditional pageantry used for anointing monarchs over the last 1000 years, Buckingham Palace announced on Tuesday.

Charles,73, automatically became king on the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth last month, but the grand coronation ceremony for him and his wife Camilla, who will be crowned queen, will now take place on Saturday, May 6.
