King Charles: The historic coronation ceremony in 10+1 photos

King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey, marking the symbolic start of a new royal era in Britain.

The ceremony itself has no legal or constitutional significance, as Charles has been king since his mother’s death last September. Nevertheless, the symbolic ritual holds great significance for a man who, at 74, has been heir to the throne since the age of three!

King Charles even looked particularly emotional during the ceremony.
