We're just days away from King Charles' coronation, and with every day that passes by, more and more details on the historic event are released. From the 2,000-strong guest list to the lineup of the Coronation Concert, the three-day celebration is shaping up to be the event of the year—or dare we say decade?
This will be the first coronation ceremony the U.K. has seen since the late Queen Elizabeth's in 1953, but you can expect it will follow many of the same traditions. Think: a procession through London in a golden coach; glittering crowns, scepters, and orbs; and even a 700-year-old chair (the Coronation Chair has been used in every British coronation since the year 1300, by the way).
