King Charles III was crowned monarch of the United Kingdom on Saturday alongside his wife, Queen Camilla.
At 74 years old, Charles is the oldest monarch to ever take the British throne. The newly crowned king took a modest approach to the ceremony, while still including “key elements associated with the hallowed religious service” and remaining “rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry” while looking “towards the future,” according to Buckingham Palace.
Charles was joined by royal family members, representation for 203 nations and territories, 200 members of the British military and other public figures for the service.
Many people — save those over 70 — have never seen a British monarch crowned. Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation ceremony was on June 2, 1953.
