Their Majesties’ Coronation The first in nearly 70 years, the King and Queen Consort will be a once-in-a-generation occasion. A religious ceremony that hasn’t altered much in a thousand years will be on show, in all its majesty and excitement. The Archbishop of Canterbury will preside over the Coronation ceremony.
