Charles, 73, will be formally crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey, following a long tradition dating back more than 900 years.

The monarch’s wife, Queen Consort Camilla, 75, will also be crowned, the palace confirmed. May 6 is the fourth birthday of Charles’ grandson Archie, the son of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.
