Few  weeks after the passing on of the Longest serving Mornach Queen Elizabeth II King Charles III’s coronation date has been set, according to a new report.
Per Bloomberg, citing U.K. officials, Charles’ crowning date will be on June 3 at Westminster Abbey in London.
However, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace told the Evening Standard that any reports on the coronation date are “pure speculation.”
Sources told the London newspaper that a date for the coronation had not been decided and added that any reporting of the date should be taken “with a massive pinch of salt.”
well it’s always that of speculation and not too sure with the Royal family until it’s happening.
According to Bloomberg, anonymous government officials said that plans for the coronation have centered on June 3, though discussions are ongoing as to which other dates could be proclaimed official holidays.
As the king’s coronation is a state event, the date on which it takes place will be observed as a bank holiday. Since June 3 of next year falls on a Saturday, Friday, June 2 could potentially be proclaimed a bank holiday.
If the coronation is officially set for June 3, King Charles III’s ceremony will take place almost 70 years to the day after his mother Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2, 1953.
Coronations usually take place a year after the death of a monarch in order to allow for a period of mourning as well as to provide enough time for the planning that such a massive public event entails.
However, Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation was delayed for 16 months due to her father George VI’s unexpected death at the age of 56.
Well let’s keep our fingers crossed and expectations in check till coronation.
