Comparisons of Past Coronation Ceremonies

As King Charles prepares for his coronation, plans are underway for a more modern and inclusive ceremony. The guest list was reduced to approximately 2,000 people, a fraction of the 8,251 who attended Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953. The service will also be shorter, with a runtime of just 60 minutes compared to the three-hour ceremony of the past.

Lady Anne Glenconner, a maid of honor at Elizabeth’s coronation, confirmed that more religions would be represented in the new ceremony.
