As well as the prime minister and governor-general, a number of notable Australians have been invited to see the King be crowned.
Nick Cave, Sam Kerr and Dr Daniel Nour are among the Australians invited to King Charles III's coronation.Australian invitees have been chosen for showing care for others, serving the community and championing progress.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon, Governor-General David Hurley and his wife Linda and state governors will be in London for the coronation, which is expected to be attended by more than 2000 people. “I’m just drawn to that kind of thing – the bizarre, the uncanny, the stupefyingly spectacular, the awe-inspiring.”Cave did not indicate if he would pledge allegiance to the King when asked to do so during the formalities, although the Archbishop of Canterbury has told the BBC the pledge will be an invitation rather than a command.
As well as being Australia's lead goal scorer and one of the world's best footballers, Matildas captain Kerr is known for being a passionate leader, a team player and a champion of women's sports. Jasmine Coe is a Wiradjuri-British artist and curator of Coe Gallery – which is dedicated to supporting and celebrating Aboriginal artists.
