As featured on
King Charles III has been officially announced as Britain's monarch in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live.
King Charles III's wife has been officially identified as Queen Camilla for the first time, with Buckingham Palace using the title on invitations for the monarch's May 6 coronation.
King Charles III will be taking a shortcut and a smoother ride to Westminster Abbey, trimming the procession route his mother took in 1953 as he aims for a more modest coronation that will include some modern touches.
