It was an occasion of great pomp and pageantry - truly fitting for a king. But sweep aside the centuries-old traditions, the grand processions, the ornate robes and the priceless ancient bling, and at the heart of the coronation was a man simply vowing to carry out his duty to serve.
King Charles III was crowned alongside his wife, Queen Camilla, at Westminster Abbey in a service that showcased the stunning spectacle and symbolism of the British monarchy. But he summed up what it was really all about as he was welcomed at the beginning of the proceedings by 14-year-old chorister Samuel Strachan “in the name of the King of kings”.
The King replied in a loud and clear voice, “I come not to be served, but to serve.”
Born to be Monarch, the King had a 70-year apprenticeship after his mother, Elizabeth II, became sovereign. He hit the ground running as monarch after her death. Now the coronation formally signifies that it’s his turn to take on the responsibility that comes with the role.
It was a solemn ceremony steeped in ancient rituals and deeply religious elements, but thanks to the King, 74, also managed to be "a very 21st-century coronation that included many modern touches", according to royal biographer Robert Hardman. These included making the guest list far more inclusive. Many peers of the realm who have typically filled the pews at state occasions had to watch the proceedings on TV from home as 400 seats went to people from all walks of life who have received a British Empire Medal.
Charles also dispensed with 900-year-old protocol that said no one from other royal houses could attend, and invited friends like Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, and King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain.
