King Charles Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey

Watch history being made as King Charles III is crowned at Westminster Abbey.

Britain's King Charles III has been crowned in a once-in-a-generation royal event witnessed by hundreds of high-profile guests inside Westminster Abbey, as well as tens of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in central London despite the rain.


While Charles became King on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September, the coronation was the formal crowning of the monarch.


The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms took place on 6 May 2023, at Westminster Abbey.


Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II.
