The coronation of King Charles III will begin Saturday with a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will ride in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, an ornate, air-conditioned, horse-drawn carriage. The procession is expected to reach Westminster Abbey around 11 a.m. (British Summer Time); 3 a.m. (PDT).
In the first stage of the coronation ceremonies, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will address the approximately 2,000 people in the congregation and proclaim Charles king.
In the second stage, King Charles will take his oath.
In the third stage, the king is seated in the Coronation Chair to be anointed.
If the fourth stage, he is crowned with the St. Edward's Crown, worn only for coronations.
In the fifth stage, King Charles III takes the throne.
Queen Consort Camilla will then be anointed, crowned and enthroned in a shorter ceremony.
The king and queen consort then return to Buckingham Palace, retracing their route, this time in horse-drawn Gold State Coach.
King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla are expected to be joined by members of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Streaming coverage has already begun on BritBox with "Countdown to the Crown: The Who's Who and What's What of the Coronation," a daily streaming series providing a guide to the the coronation ceremonies and celebrations. Below, find our complete guide to how to watch the festivities live.
