The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 6 May 2023, at Westminster Abbey. Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II.
Compared with previous coronations, the ceremony will undergo some alterations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom, and will be shorter than Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. The ceremony will begin with the anointing of Charles, symbolising his spiritual entry into kingship, and then his crowning and enthronement, representing his assumption of temporal powers and responsibilities. Camilla will be crowned in a shorter and simpler ceremony. The royal family will travel to Buckingham Palace in a state procession and appear on the balcony to celebrate the occasion.
The coronation will mark not only a sacred anointing and formal crowning, but also include public celebrations. On 7 May, the Coronation Big Lunch will take place, providing the public with the opportunity to mark the occasion with street parties. The Coronation Concert will be held on the same day at Windsor Castle with representatives of the King and the Queen Consort's charities as well as members of the general public in attendance. On 8 May, the Big Help Out initiative will take place to encourage community service and volunteering. Both the coronation at Westminster Abbey and the concert at Windsor Castle will be broadcast on television and streamed online.
This will be the first coronation of a British monarch to occur in the 21st century, and the 40th to be held at Westminster Abbey since 1066.[1][a]
Preparation
Background
Charles III became king immediately upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, at 15:10 BST on Thursday 8 September 2022. He was proclaimed king by the Accession Council of the United Kingdom on Saturday 10 September,[3] which was followed by proclamations in other Commonwealth realms.[4] Due to Elizabeth's advanced age, Charles's coronation has been planned for years, under the code name Operation Golden Orb.[5][6][7] During Elizabeth's reign, planning meetings for Operation Golden Orb were held at least once a year, attended by representatives of the government, the Church of England and Clarence House staff.[5]
Planning
The Duke of Norfolk, Edward Fitzalan-Howard, is in charge of organising the coronation as hereditary earl marshal.[8] A committee of privy counsellors will arrange the event.[9][7]
In October 2022, the date of Charles and Camilla's coronation was announced: Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey.[10] Buckingham Palace set the date to ensure sufficient time to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II before holding a joyous ceremony.[9][7] In November 2022, the government proclaimed that an extra bank holiday would occur on 8 May, two days after the coronation.[11] On 20 January 2023, Buckingham Palace announced plans for the coronation weekend between 6 and 8 May.[12]
As a state occasion, the coronation is paid for by the British government. The government thus also decides the guest list,[13] which will include members of the British royal family, the British prime minister, representatives of the houses of Parliament, representatives of the governments of the Commonwealth Realms and foreign royalty and heads of state.[14] Safety regulations at Westminster Abbey will restrict the number of guests to around 2,000.[15] After the ceremony, Charles and Camilla are expected to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony.[7]
For the first time, a Coronation Claims Office has been established within the Cabinet Office instead of the traditional Court of Claims to handle claims to perform a historic or ceremonial role at the coronation.[16]
The official photographer of the coronation will be Hugo Burnand. He had previously been the official photographer for Charles and Camilla's wedding in 2005.[17]
On 5 April 2023, the official invitation from King Charles III and Queen Camilla was unveiled and sent to about 2,000 guests.[18] A new official photo of the royal couple by Hugo Burnand was also released.[18] The invitation for the coronation was designed by Andrew Jamieson, a heraldic artist and manuscript illuminator, and features the couple's coats of arms and a motif of the Green Man against a background of the emblematic flowers of the UK and a British wildflower meadow and wildlife.[18][19]
Emblems
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/39/Charles_III_coronation_emblem.svg/220px-Charles_III_coronation_emblem.svg.png)
The Coronation Emblem was designed by Sir Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom and depicts the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom in the shape of St Edward's Crown.[20] The flora shown in the emblem are the rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, the daffodil for Wales and the shamrock for Northern Ireland.[21] The primary emblem is in blue and red, the colours of the Union Jack. Secondary emblems were also made available in red, blue, black and white.[21] All versions were also made available in Welsh.[22] The Palace also announced that the rules governing the commercial use of Royal Photographs and Official Insignia would be temporarily relaxed with the King and the Queen Consort's approval in this case to allow souvenir manufacturing.[23]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/76/The_Canadian_Coronation_Emblem.jpg/220px-The_Canadian_Coronation_Emblem.jpg)
A Canadian emblem for the coronation was created by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, the Fraser Herald of Arms, and registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority. The emblem includes Charles III's royal cypher inside a ring of 13 triangular shapes, alluding to a string of pennants and Canada's provinces and territories. The circular arrangement symbolises inclusion, as well as the Indigenous Canadian concept of equity and the cycles of the natural world. The colour green is a nod to the King's commitment to the environment, while the white space may be viewed as a sunburst, symbolising innovation and new ideas.[24]
Speculation
It has been reported that unlike previous coronations, only King Charles's son and heir apparent, Prince William, will pay his personal homage and allegiance to the monarch, while other royal peers will not be asked to do the same.[25] Another press report in January suggested that the King will wear naval uniform at the coronation instead of the traditional breeches and stockings.[26]
Coronation
Procession
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/The_Gold_State_Coach.jpg/220px-The_Gold_State_Coach.jpg)
On the day of the coronation, the King and the Queen Consort will travel to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee Coach drawn by six Windsor Greys as part of a procession known as "The King's Procession".[27][28] The Sovereign's Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment will take part in the procession, which will go along The Mall, down Whitehall and along Parliament Street, and around the east and south sides of Parliament Square.[27] The King and the Queen Consort, in the Gold State Coach drawn by eight Windsor Greys, and the royal family will take the same route in reverse and return to Buckingham Palace in a larger ceremonial procession, known as "The Coronation Procession".[27] They will be joined by armed forces from across the Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories, and all services of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, alongside the Sovereign's Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.[27] The King and the Queen Consort will then receive a royal salute from the armed forces and join the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.[27][28]
Ceremony
Two maces, made between 1660 and 1695, and the Sword of State will be carried into the abbey before the King.[29] Also carried into the abbey will be the Sword of Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice, the blunt Sword of Mercy, and St Edward's Staff.[29]
The service will begin at 11:00 am and will be conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury.[12] Charles will sit in King Edward's Chair, the name of which refers to either Edward the Confessor or Edward I of England, who had it built in 1300 to house the Stone of Scone that the English took from the Scots in 1296.[30][31][32] The 13th-century chair has undergone a programme of restoration and conservation in preparation for the ceremony.[33] Historic Environment Scotland announced in September 2022 that the Stone of Scone would be moved from the Crown Room of Edinburgh Castle to London for Charles's coronation at Westminster Abbey and returned to the Castle after the ceremony.[34]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/Crown_Jewels_of_the_United_Kingdom_1952-12-13.jpg/220px-Crown_Jewels_of_the_United_Kingdom_1952-12-13.jpg)
The holy anointing oil was based on the same formula as had been used in the coronation of Elizabeth II and was consecrated by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on 6 March 2023 under the supervision of Hosam Naoum, the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem.[35][36][37] It will be contained within the Ampulla and the archbishop will use the Spoon to perform the anointing.[29] The King will be presented with the Spurs, invested with the Armills (bracelets), the Sovereign's Orb, the Sovereign's Ring, the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross and the Sovereign's Sceptre with Dove.[29]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/ImperialStateCrown.jpg/170px-ImperialStateCrown.jpg)
St Edward's Crown, which was removed in December 2022 from the Tower of London for resizing,[38] is to be used to crown the King.[13][7] A crown referred to as St Edward's Crown (the crown of England) is first recorded as having been used for the coronation of Henry III of England in 1220, and that crown may have been the same crown worn by Saint Edward the Confessor. However, it was destroyed by the Republican Oliver Cromwell, and the current St Edward's Crown was made as a replacement in 1661.[39][40] The King will also wear the Imperial State Crown at the end of the ceremony.[41]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Queen_Mary%27s_Crown.png/170px-Queen_Mary%27s_Crown.png)
The Queen Consort will be anointed and then invested with the Queen Consort's Ring, and handed the Queen Consort's Sceptre with Cross, and the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove.[29] Queen Mary's Crown was removed from display at the Tower of London for modification work and will be used to crown Queen Camilla.[42][b] The crown will be reset with the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds and four of its detachable arches will be removed.[42] It will be the first time a queen is crowned using another consort's crown since 1727, when Caroline of Ansbach used the Crown of Mary of Modena.[42] The decision not to use the Crown of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother avoids a potential diplomatic dispute with Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, which have all made claims of ownership of the Koh-i-Noor diamond in the past.[45] This will be the first coronation of a consort since that of Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) in 1937.[7]
Charles will be attended by four pages of honour. They are Prince George of Wales, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley (son of the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley), Nicholas Barclay (grandson of Sarah Troughton), and Ralph Tollemache (son of the Hon. Edward Tollemache). Camilla will also be attended by four pages of honour. They are her grandsons, Gus and Louis Lopes (sons of Laura Lopes), and Frederick Parker Bowles (son of Tom Parker Bowles), and her great-nephew, Arthur Elliot (son of Ben Elliot).[46]
Music
The King personally oversaw the development of the music programme and commissioned twelve new pieces for the service.[47] Andrew Nethsingha, the organist and master of the choristers at the abbey, was appointed as the director of music for the coronation.[48]
Andrew Lloyd Webber composed a new coronation anthem based on Psalm 98, and Patrick Doyle created a coronation march.[47][48] Other composers who have written new music for the service include Iain Farrington, Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O'Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams, and Debbie Wiseman.[47] Soloists will include Sir Bryn Terfel, Pretty Yende, and Roderick Williams.[48] Music by Sir Karl Jenkins will be part of the programme, while tradition requires that the works of William Byrd, George Frideric Handel, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Henry Walford Davies, Sir William Walton, Sir Hubert Parry, and Ralph Vaughan Williams be included as well.[48] A liturgical section of the ceremony will be performed in Welsh, in tribute to the King's 64-year tenure as Prince of Wales. Greek Orthodox music will also be included in the service in tribute to the King's father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[47]
The choir for the coronation will be a combination of the choirs of Westminster Abbey, the Chapel Royal, Methodist College Belfast, and Truro Cathedral.[48] The Ascension Choir, a gospel choir, will also perform during the service.[48] The orchestra players will be drawn from Charles's patronages, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.[48] The conductor for the orchestra will be Sir Antonio Pappano, while Sir John Eliot Gardiner will conduct a programme of choral music consisting of the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists before the service.[47][48] The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force will play the fanfares.[48]
Guests
450 recipients of the British Empire Medal (BEM) were invited to join the congregation at Westminster Abbey in recognition of their services and support to their local communities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.[49] Another 400 representatives from charitable organisations were also invited to watch the coronation and procession at St Margaret's, Westminster.[49] 200 of them were selected by the King and Queen Consort from the Prince's Trust, the Prince's Foundation, Barnardo's, the National Literacy Trust, and Ebony Horse Club.[49] The other 200 were nominated by the UK Government in recognition of their contributions to the coronation day and include people from the Scout Association, Girlguiding, St John Ambulance, and the National Citizen Service.[49]

On 8 May, the Big Help Out initiative will take place to encourage volunteering and community service.[12][28] It is organised by the Together Coalition in partnership with The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and faith groups from across the United Kingdom.[12] The Royal Voluntary Service, of which Camilla is president, launched the Coronation Champions Awards which will recognise a diverse group of volunteers nominated by members of the public.[61] The pubs will also remain open for an extra two hours until 1 am on the coronation weekend.[62]

Commemorative coins and stamps will be released in New Zealand to mark the coronation.[75][76]
Coverage
The BBC announced that it would suspend the licence fee for the coronation weekend. As a result, venues will be able to screen the coronation on 6 May and the coronation concert on 7 May without needing to buy a TV licence.[77] The palace revealed a new emoji depicting St Edward's Crown for use on social media.[78]
Reactions
The anti-monarchist organisation Republic has announced plans to protest in the lead up to the ceremony.[79] Pro-Scottish independence marches are scheduled to take place in both Edinburgh and Glasgow on the day of the coronation. Protest group All Under One Banner (AUOB), the organiser of the Glasgow march, called it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protest.[80]
It was reported in October 2022 that "hundreds" of people had signed an online petition demanding that the Stone of Scone should not be removed from Scotland for the coronation.[81] Alex Salmond, the leader of the Alba Party and former first minister of Scotland, suggested in March 2023 that the Scottish Government ought to prevent the stone from being taken to London, despite Historic Environment Scotland having already announced the move.[82]
Notes
- ^ King Harold Godwinson was almost certainly crowned at the newly consecrated Westminster Abbey in January 1066, although this is not specifically confirmed by any contemporary source.[2] If Harold's coronation is included, this will be the 41st at the abbey.
- ^ When Charles married her in 2005, it was announced by Clarence House that it was not intended that Camilla would assume the title of queen upon his accession.[43] Charles, however, had long wished for her to be so titled and crowned alongside him and, in February 2022, with Camilla's popularity rising, Elizabeth II declared her "sincere wish" that Camilla be known as queen consort upon Charles's accession.[44]
- ^ The White House announced that President Joe Biden would not attend the coronation as traditionally US presidents do not attend British coronations. Rather, the First Lady and a delegation will represent the President.
