Charles III Crowned King At First UK Coronation In 70 Years

Charles III on Saturday was officially crowned king in the first coronation in Britain since 1953.

At 12:02 pm, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the solid gold St. Edward’s Crown on Charles’s head as a sacred and ancient symbol of the monarch’s authority.

Cries of “God Save the King” rang out from the 2,300-strong congregation at Westminster Abbey and trumpet fanfares sounded at the climax of the solemn religious confirmation of his accession.
