Coronation of King Charles

Britain witnessed its first coronation in seven decades on Saturday, culminating King Charles III's long journey from heir to monarch. The glittering festivities at Westminster Abbey in London were, however, marred by widespread protests and arrests of anti-monarchy activists. 

The pomp, ceremony and millions spent on the state-sponsored spectacle did little to mask the disquiet surrounding the crowning of the new monarch.

Press TV presents a special program on the lead up to the crowning of King Charles III and how the country indulged in such extravaganza amidst the cost of living crisis.
