King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla were crowned on Saturday in a historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London.
The 74-year-old, who is the oldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, was crowned during Britain’s first coronation in 70 years. The royal family were joined by more than 2,200 guests from around the world, including international royalty, foreign dignitaries, government officials and celebrities.
Charles immediately ascended to the throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 8, 2022. Two days later, he was officially proclaimed monarch by the Accession Council in a ceremony at St. James’ Palace in London that was televised for the first time in history.
