The Coronation of a new Sovereign takes place in the months after their accession, following a period of mourning. In a similar but simpler ceremony, the Queen Consort will also be crowned alongside His Majesty The King as part of the service on Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey. We have released a free short film for primary-aged children explaining the history and importance of the Coronation, the role of The King, and the significance of the Monarchy around the world.
