With a week and a half until King Charles III’s coronation — can you believe it? — I thought it was time to take a look at what we can expect on May 6.
The new sovereign wants this major moment in royal history to reflect his vision for a “smaller, more modern monarchy,” according to the Telegraph. So what does that mean? From the music and fashion, to the controversies and (so-called) snubs, this third episode of the So Many Thoughts Coronation Podcast has all the details we know — so far.
Along with my thoughts, you’ll hear from royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith and historian Marlene Koenig, as well as Emily Nash, royal editor of Hello! magazine, and Victoria Murphy, a contributing editor at Town & Country. Consider this your comprehensive coronation guide.
