Where to Watch the Coronation of King Charles III
In 1953, the world watched rapturously as Elizabeth II was crowned Queen of England in a first-ever televised event. Almost 70 years later, her son Charles III and his wife, Camilla (above, at a state banquet in 2022), will formally ascend to the throne as the new King and Queen Consort. Once again, the world will see history in the making as celebrations mark the momentous day. Here’s where you can watch the excitement.
