Following her coronation on February 6, 1952, Charles’ late mother, Queen Elizabeth, was crowned at Westminster Abbey in 1953. A little more than a month before his mother’s coronation’s 70th anniversary, the new King will be crowned (June 2).
The Archbishop of Canterbury “anoints, blesses and consecrates” the Sovereign during the rite. Charles, who turns 74 on November 14, will be crowned at the ceremony alongside his wife, the Queen Consort.
The father of Princes William and Harry was solemnly crowned King Charles III at the Accession Council two days after the Queen passed away.
