Prince George, who was one of eight schoolboys taking on the role of Page of Honour, held his grandfather’s regal robes as he entered the Abbey. The royal redhead, who reportedly flew into Heathrow on a commercial American Airlines flight, sans Meghan as expected, sat three rows behind Prince William and Kate Middleton. Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at Westminster Abbey. All Black captain Richie McCaw made an appearance alongside Lionel Richie and Jill Biden, while Boris Johnson and the UK’s shortest-serving prime minister - Liz Truss - had also scored invites. The 2300 guests invited to Westminster Abbey were given strict instructions to begin arriving for the event at 7.
The newly crowned King and Queen wave to cheering crowds as they make their way back to Buckingham Palace in the majestic Gold State Coach. As the morning progressed, celebrities, royals and more than 100 heads of state were seated in the Abbey. As he left the Abbey King Charles made his final wardrobe switch - into the Robe of Estate and a coronation tunic in the deep royal purple.In an archaic ritual which in keeping with tradition, was hidden behind a screen, 74-year-old Charles was anointed with holy oil and swore the oath of kings. His wife of 18 years was crowned and officially dropped the ‘consort’ from her title; an occasion that’s been the subject of thousands of “side chick” memes.
For those of you that haven’t burnt the midnight oil to watch history in action, we’ve rounded up the highlights of the day. Laura, who was sporting a Union Jack bucket hat and a fresh royal blue manicure, said King Charles is “underrated”. For the service itself, Charles donned the Stole Royal, a garment made of gold cloth newly created and embroidered by the Royal School of needlework.Prince Harry was wearing a morning suit in lieu of military uniform or robes and sandwiched between Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, and their spouses. We’re seeing them everywhere too – especially across London on frosty morning commutes, as well as on the heads of Saturday night clubbers. Rain fell intermittently from a grey sky over the course of the occasion, prompting Union Jack brollies to open amid a sea of spectators on the Mall and beyond.
Just days after the Met Gala, King Charles III was dressed to impress during his coronation ceremony and underwent a number of outfit changes throughout the three-hour long event. The King then vowed to preserve the Protestant religion in the UK and to maintain the rights of the Church of England. A little further down the Mall, 21-year-old Cara Rogers was already toasting the King with a plastic cup of vodka and lemonade. During his arrival, the King was wearing the Robe of State, a deep red coronation tunic and cream silk overshirt with royal naval trousers, which are regularly worn as part of his Royal Navy full ceremonial tailcoat.

Having flown all the way from Boston, Massachusetts, Laura Richardson, her husband Peter and their daughter Kate were thrilled to have nabbed front-row seats on the Mall. It’s the year of the tiger in the Chinese new year calendar, so why not wear your stripes loud and proud? Katy Perry, who is due to perform at the King’s Coronation Concert on Sunday, appeared to have trouble spotting her seat from under a giant lavender fascinator.
