- LIVE. Coronation of Charles III live: "God save the king!"
Charles III has revolutionized the centuries-old coronation ceremony of a British king. Although in the essential forms nothing has changed, the new monarch wanted to approach the people and the new times in this new coronation. And for the first time in history the British monarchy has opened up to the rest of the Royal House including in its guest list members of royalty from around the world. And the attendance at a historic event has been massive.
It should be remembered that the British monarchy is the only one of the ten parliamentary monarchies in Europe that maintains the coronation, the rest choose other formulas, such as the proclamation of Felipe VI. That of Charles III has been a conclave of royalty, with the presence of all the reigning dynasties except that of Cambodia, and also the attendance of non-reigning families.
From Europe were: Kings Philip and Letizia, Carl Gustav of Sweden with his daughter Victoria, the Grand Dukes of Luxembourg, Philip and Matilda of the Belgians, William and Maxima of the Netherlands, Hakkon and Mette-Marit of Norway, Frederick and Mary of Denmark, Albert and Charlene of Monaco and the princes of Liechtenstein. There were also Anna Maria of Greece with her son Paul and Marie Chantal, Margaret and Radu of Romania and Simeon and Margaret of Bulgaria, Alexander and Katherine of Serbia, all pretenders to the throne of their countries.
From outside Europe came Abdullah and Rania of Jordan, the emir of Qatar with the sheikh, the kings of Bhutan, those of Lesotho, Maha Vajiralongkorn, the controversial king of Thailand. Also the heir Fumihito of Japan, Princess Lalla of Morocco and the kings of Malaysia.
