The coronation of King Charles III will be held on May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey and be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury
Since 1066, beginning with the coronation of William the Conqueror, the service has almost always been conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and held at Westminster Abbey, officials said. During the ceremony, the sovereign is anointed, blessed and consecrated. The king also takes an oath and is asked if he will govern the United Kingdom and other nations of the Commonwealth.
Further details about the ceremony and the guest list will be announced at a later date, the palace said. Media reports in Britain have indicated that Charles wants to modernize the service by making it shorter and dispensing with some elements, such as the presentation of gold ingots. He is also expected to include representations of different faiths and limit the guest list to 2,000.
