King Charles III

For almost 1,000 years, each monarch of Britain, and later New Zealand, has been crowned in a special ceremony months after their accession. A coronation is an important day in the history of the nation, a vibrant shared experience for the public and an occasion of deep personal significance in the life of the monarch.

In a resplendent formal ceremony, on 6 May 2023 King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort will be crowned in Westminster Abbey, where all but two British monarchs have been crowned in the past 900 years. Featuring portraits of the King and Queen Consort, four stamps have been issued to commemorate the accession of King Charles III.
