The city of London dresses up this Saturday to celebrate the coronation of Charles III as monarch of the United Kingdom. The celebrations will formally start with aA procession from Buckingham Palacearound 10.20 (an hour more in mainland Spain) and the monarchs will have military custody and family accompaniment, but the procession will be considerably smaller than the one that accompanied Isabel II in 1953, in which members participated from other royal families and political leaders.
Carlos III will also introduce the float used to move as a novelty, since he will not move in a car built in 1762 and used in all coronations since 1831. He will use another float built in 2012, to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, and which is lighter and more comfortable. In total, the ceremony will last about two hours, divided into various phases.

Carlos III, faced with the challenge of consolidating the monarchy and containing a rising republicanism
The seven decades of Elizabeth II’s reign symbolized in the United Kingdom and even in the Commonwealth countries the stability that the monarchy has always tried to champion against elected regimes. However, with a new king on the throne and a Royal House that accumulates scandals, the intergenerational division and the rise of a certain republican sentiment in a country that had always looked at Buckingham Palace with admiration is becoming more and more palpable.
Charles III promised “loyalty” to the citizenry in his first speech after the death of his mother, in which, like Isabel II, he made it clear that he wanted to be king for “all his life”. In his case, he will not be able to reach seven decades of reign, since he came to the throne at the age of 72, but in the most monarchical sectors they have been demanding that he was not assumed to be a mere transition between the late queen and her eldest son and heirPrince William, who is now 40 years old.
