Date of King Charles' coronation announced as UK 'won't be granted extra bank holiday'
King Charles' coronation date has been set for May 6 of next year, Buckingham Palace has announced- but in a bid to slim down the ceremony there reportedly won't be a bank holiday.
The date is also the birthday of Charles' grandson Archie, who will turn four on the day. Guest lists have yet to be confirmed for the spectacle, including whether or not Harry and Meghan will be invited or be able to travel from California to attend. “The ceremony will see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside the Queen Consort. The coronation will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”
Special seating structures were built inside the church at the time to increase the usual congregation from 2,000 to 8,000. Security will be heightened given the high-profile nature of the day.
