King Charles III was crowned on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey. The rift with the younger of the two sons, Prince Harry, cast a shadow over the change of throne.
As his country's most important ambassador, the king first traveled to the most important neighboring European country. Charles' humorous greeting to short-term Prime Minister Liz Truss made headlines, greeting him at Buckingham Palace with "Are you here again?" The current king is an eco-pioneer and has been committed to nature conservation since the 1970s.
