King Charles III was crowned king of the United Kingdom on Saturday, as the archbishop of Canterbury placed the solid-gold crown on his head in Westminster Abbey. 👑 Cheers of “God save the king!” rang out in one of the most symbolic moments of the coronation, the country’s first in 70 years. To the royal family and government, the occasion — code-named Operation Golden Orb — is a display of heritage, tradition and spectacle unmatched around the world. 📸: Richard Pohle - WPA Pool/ @gettyimages #wuc #kcm #knowitall #kingcharles #theroyalfamily #theroyals #westminsterabbey #coronation #london #unitedkingdom
