Coronation date for King Charles III appears to have been set

The coronation of King Charles III looks set to be held on June 3, 2023 - according to reports. The event will be held at Westminster Abbey.

News agency Bloomberg says Government officials have confirmed the date speaking on condition of anonymity. A public announcement is due. Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

Discussions are ongoing over whether there will be bank holidays around the Saturday coronation. The date would mark 70 years and one day on from his mum's coronation.

However, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed to Mirror.co.uk that any reports on a date is "purely speculation".

The intricate details for King Charles III's coronation have been years in the making, closely guarded under the codename Operation Golden Orb.

The ancient religious tradition is a service in which every monarch must swear an oath before the nation to serve them as king or queen.
