Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022, leaving the throne vacant for the next in line to take it. That person is King Charles III, who has been publicly recognized as the new king of England and the Commonwealth. This title, however, will not be fully official until the king is crowned. His coronation is scheduled for May 6, with the entire world watching him and Queen Consort Camilla.
However, millions of people will want to see the king be crowned, and there will be numerous ways to watch the television broadcast. People in the United States with cable will be able to watch the entire coronation through the BBC, as is customary. That will give you a chance to experience the event through the eyes of the legendary network.
Which American networks are airing the coronation?
However, if you prefer to watch the coronation with American journalists, you can choose from a large number of networks that will cover the event. All of the major networks, including MSNBC, ABC, CNN, and CBS, will provide coverage. The event will begin at 11 a.m. local time on Saturday, May 6.
The procession from Buckingham Palace will begin earlier. When an event begins at 11 a.m. in London, it is 6 a.m. on the East Coast and 3 a.m. on the Pacific. We still don’t know how long the coronation will last. There are two processions going on, one smaller at Westminster Abbey and one more open to the public. And another one much bigger that is taking place in private at Buckingham Palace.
The Coronation is reportedly costing the British taxpayer £100 million.
King Charles reportedly has a personal net worth of £600 million.

Given that we haven’t seen a coronation in the modern era, it’s possible that the Royal Palace broadcast will choose a YouTube channel to stream the entire event. Many decades have passed since a young Queen Elizabeth II was crowned the rightful Queen of England. Back then, the world was much different, and it is much more crowded now.
Reaching out to even more people via YouTube is a brilliant way to ensure that the majority of people around the world can witness the coronation. The entire world will be watching Charles become King of the United Kingdom on May 6.
