King Charles III Coronation

On May 6th, 2023, the world watched as King Charles III was officially crowned and anointed as the new monarch of the United Kingdom.

Consequently, the coronation ceremony, steeped in centuries-old traditions and symbols of power, marked a generational shift in the British monarchy.

Held at Westminster Abbey, the event was attended by dignitaries and representatives from around the world, as well as members of the royal family.

Furthermore, as part of the ceremony, King Charles III was anointed with holy oil, crowned with the St. Edward’s Crown, and presented with various regalia and symbols of power, including the sceptre and orb.

Despite the traditional elements of the coronation ceremony, there were also updates to reflect modern values and concerns. For instance, there was a greater emphasis on inclusivity and environmentalism, signifying the evolving nature of society and the monarchy’s role within it.

The coronation of King Charles III was undoubtedly one of the most significant events in the world, attracting global attention and interest. Moreover, as the new monarch, King Charles III carries with him the hopes and expectations of the British people and the wider world.

Furthermore, the coronation ceremony marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy, and it will be fascinating to watch how King Charles III navigates the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

In addition, as the world continues to change and evolve, the British monarchy will undoubtedly play a critical role in shaping its future, and King Charles III will undoubtedly be at the forefront of this endeavour.

Easy Coronation craft

Instructions

After downloading the King Charles III template, the first thing to do is design the glasses.

Get your kids or students to draw something that represents England to them. 

Otherwise, they can colour, cut and paste the images provided.

Next, place the glasses on top of the face template, so that they know where to draw the nose and mouth. 

There is no need to draw the eyes. Then they can finish drawing the hair and colouring the face, uniform, etc.

Finish off by gluing the glasses onto the face.

Ideal as part of a display, or bulletin, board.
