The live blog is now closed, thank you for joining us. These were the updates on King Charles IIIs coronation on May 6:
- King Charles III and his wife Camilla are crowned at a lavish Westminster Abbey ceremony on a dreary, rainy day in London, as thousands line the streets in the capital.
- The head of the United Kingdom’s main republican group and other antimonarchist activists were arrested at a coronation protest in London hours before the historic events.
- Prince Harry, the second son of Charles III, flew in from the United States to attend with dozens of other high-profile guests. Scandal-hit royal Prince Andrew, the king’s brother, is also in attendance.
- While many are celebrating, a recent YouGov poll in the UK found that just 33 percent of those asked cared about the coronation.
