King Charles III is set to be crowned alongside the Queen Consort at a lavish ceremony in Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6. The investiture will form part of a long weekend filled with celebrations for the new monarch, ranging from street parties to concerts. The King ascended the throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September last year, making him the oldest new monarch in British history. ()

Here are some experts from 麻豆AV that can provide comment on this issue:

Brian Cowan, Associate Professor, Department of History and Classical Studies

鈥�The coronation of King Charles III is part of the tradition of sacral monarchy that used to be standard in European monarchies but may appear somewhat archaic in the 21st century. King Charles will be crowned as king of the United Kingdom and its commonwealth realms (including Canada) in a ceremony that has evolved over the centuries. He is a constitutional monarch, subject to his Parliaments; he will also pledge to uphold the Protestant episcopalian settlement of the Church of England and the Protestant presbyterian settlement of the Church of Scotland in his role as supreme governor of both churches.鈥�

鈥�The coronation of King Charles III is a thousand-year-old ceremony where the King dedicates himself to promoting the good of people throughout the Commonwealth, particularly in countries where he serves as Head of State. Some people may dismiss the coronation as meaningless, but others will see it as a significant moment for acknowledging and building community.鈥�
