TikTokers around the globe are preparing to blitz the social media platform with coverage of King Charles Coronation next weekend.
As millions of people are set to watch at home, thousands will line the street for parties and even more will be scrolling their phones watching clips from the ceremony.
Amanda Matta is one user who is eagerly awaiting the King's Coronation, the Guardian reports.
The 28-year-old has 1.2 million subscribers and has become an influential voice on the app when it comes to the Royal family.
She posted her first video in December last year under her "Matta_of_fact" account and says she has a lot more "coverage, explainers and analysis" coming up on her channel.
Based in the US, the social media manager has shared a range of videos on her TikTok, including press reaction to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's controversies, "101s" on the coronation ceremony and news updates about the royal family.
She said: “There’s potential for the younger generation (Gen Z) to get really engaged with the royal family for potentially the first time here – being able to witness the pomp and pageantry where the monarchy shines for the first time.
“Of course, that’s a double-edged sword, as people, particularly millennials and Gen Zers, are more willing to call out anything that they view as out of touch.”
One of Matta's first royals video was from March 2021, the day after Harry and Meghan's explosive Oprah interview.
She believes her audience’s interest in the coronation is not as simple as young people love the monarchy.
“Many of my viewers feel the same way as I do: we’re eager to witness the Coronation for its historical significance,” she said.
“I can’t say that many of us are tuning in because of who is being crowned.”
TikToker Charlie Richardson, 20, thinks many people's interest comes from the fact there hasn't been a Coronation in 70 years.
He said: “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime historical display that will be fascinating to watch.
"This sort of major royal event would have been very private and exclusive in the past, but now it will be more accessible than ever – even more so than Queen Elizabeth’s coronation when it was the first to be televised.”
In contrast, fashion historian Rosie Hart, 21, who often talks about the monarchy in her videos, isn't too sure people are that excited to watch.
She said: “I’ve noticed a real divide in how people have responded to my coronation content, and a lot of this comes down to age.
Rosie has 416,000 followers on TikTok and says the reaction to her content has been “more fascination and excitement”.
She added: "The response has been far more critical, ranging from confusion to anger”.
