The coronation of King Charles III: 5 Essential reads on the big royal bash – and what it all means

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, May 4, 2023

The United Kingdom is about to embark on an orgy of flag-waving pomp and pageantry in celebration of King Charles III’s coronation.

Key Points: 
  • The United Kingdom is about to embark on an orgy of flag-waving pomp and pageantry in celebration of King Charles III’s coronation.
  • Charles is already the ruling monarch, having ascended to the throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

1. 3 days of celebration

    • Not content with dedicating just one day to the coronation, the Brits are putting on a three-day extravaganza starting May 6, 2023.
    • As Pauline Maclaran from the Royal Holloway University of London explained, that Saturday will be dedicated to the actual formal proceedings.
    • But it won’t just be Brits marking the occasion, especially at the central event on Saturday.

2. A notable no-show

    • There will be one notable absence among the overseas well-wishers at the coronation: President Joe Biden.
    • In fact, no U.S. president has ever attended a British monarch’s coronation.
    • But, Chernock notes, what is perhaps of more importance is whom the U.S. leader sends in his stead.
    • Read more:
      Biden's coronation no-show is no snub – more telling is whom he sends to King Charles' big day

3. But look who is going

    • That far-fetched theory seems even more so when you look at who is attending.
    • Sinn Féin’s acceptance of the invitation is part of the same effort, but also has a more political intent,” McLoughlin wrote.
    • Read more:
      Sinn Féin at the coronation: how to understand Michelle O'Neill's decision to attend King Charles's big day

4. Charles’ transatlantic cousins

    • But that shouldn’t stop residents of Buckingham, Virginia, or Westminster, Colorado, from joining in the fun alongside the folk of their place namesakes in the U.K.
    • Indeed, there might be one or two people there who can legitimately lay claim to having a bit of royal blood themselves.
    • “It’s fair to ask what it really means to say that someone is a direct descendant of royalty,” King pondered.

5. What next for Charles?
