In this file photo taken on July 16, 2020 Marshal of The Royal Air Force, Britain's Prince Charles, Prince of Wales gestures as he talks to cadets after the Graduation Ceremony of the Queen’s Squadron and Sovereign’s Review at RAF College Cranwell in eastern England.
While Charles automatically became king the moment his mother Queen Elizabeth II died, the coronation will not come until later as this deeply symbolic ceremony takes time to organise.
The coronation of a British sovereign is steeped in rituals dating back centuries.
