More than 2,000 people were invited to attend King Charles III's coronation on Saturday, and many of those guests are high-profile royals themselves. Along with members of the British royal family and leaders of the government — like British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, who spoke at the ceremony — world leaders from other countries were also attendance.

Delegates from countries in the British commonwealth attended, carrying flags for their countries as they entered Westminster Abbey.
