King Charles III, who is 74 years old, will be crowned as the new monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on Saturday. He has been ruling since his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away in September. In addition to becoming the new monarch, Charles will also assume the role of ceremonial head of the Commonwealth as part of the elaborate coronation ceremony, a unique tradition in Europe. Other countries have abolished the monarchy, opted for simpler ceremonies, or have never had coronations at all. The coronation ceremony has a rich history that dates back to 1066 and will take place at Westminster Abbey, which has hosted 39 coronations in the past. Camilla, Charles' wife, will officially become queen after being known as the queen consort. Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for a record-breaking 70 years and passed away at the age of 96, had her coronation in 1953, which was a defining moment of the era and was televised for the first time. Unlike his mother, Charles is a seasoned royal who has travelled extensively to represent the country.
