The palace has revealed new details on plans for events that will take place over the weekend from Saturday 6 May to Monday 8 May.
The coronation of the King and Queen Consort will take place at Westminster Abbey on the Saturday morning, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
According to the palace it will be "a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry".
Charles and Camilla will arrive at the Abbey in procession from Buckingham Palace and after the service they will return to the palace in a larger ceremonial procession joined by other members of the royal family.
At the palace, Charles and Camilla will be joined by family members on the balcony to conclude the day's ceremonial events.
Sunday will see "global music icons and contemporary stars" descend on Windsor Castle for the coronation concert which will be broadcast live on the BBC.
Several thousand members of the public will be selected to receive a pair of free tickets through a national ballot held by the BBC. The audience will also include volunteers from the King and Queen Consort's charity affiliations.
