King Charles succeeded to the throne on the death of his mother – Queen Elizabeth II – on 8 September 2022. The coronation is the ceremony at which Charles will be crowned king. The traditions of the coronation date back hundreds of years and every coronation has taken place in Westminster Abbey in London since 1066. However, the Palace has emphasised that although the coronation of King Charles will be rooted in long-standing traditions it will also reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future.
