King Charles III’s Coronation: Prince Harry, Nick Cave, Lionel Richie, Ant and Dec Among Arrivals
variety.comK.J. Yossman Guests have begun to arrive at Westminster Abbey in London for the coronation of King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla.
Although Charles ascended to the throne the minute Queen Elizabeth II died last year, the coronation is a ceremony to mark the formal investiture of his regal powers (such as they are in modern-day Britain).
The 2,200-strong congregation who will gather to watch the St Edward’s Crown being placed atop Charles’ head include members of the royal family, politicians, aristocrats, international dignitaries and celebrities including singers Nick Cave and Lionel Richie, TV hosts Bear Grylls and comedian Rowan Atkinson, better known as his on-screen alter-ego Mr Bean.
Among the royals attending are Charles’ sons Prince William and Prince Harry, his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward and his grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
