Description

His Majesty King Charles III succeeded to the throne on 8 September 2022, immediately on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-serving monarch. From the proclamation at St James's Palace to His Majesty The King and The Queen Consort's first official engagements, from new stamps, banknotes and post boxes to the sacred traditions of the Coronation ceremony and their meanings, this book will tell the story of what really happens when one monarch succeeds another.
