What's the story
King Charles III and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, were crowned in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, United Kingdom, on Saturday.
Notably, Charles legally became the king after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September last year.
The 74-year-old became the oldest British monarch to have St. Edward's 360-year-old crown on his head as he graced the 14th-century throne.
