King Charles III ascended the throne following the death of his mother on Sept. 8, 2022.

King Charles will appear on the balcony during his Coronation
His coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey on May 6. After the event inside the Abbey, the King and Queen Consort will appear on the balcony for the first time, formally as rulers of the country.
To mark the occasion, Buckingham Palace announced plans for the Coronation weekend, which will include three days of festivities throughout the week.
The Coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6, and on Sunday the 7th there will be "global music icons and contemporary stars," supported by world orchestras and dancers.
