King Charles and Queen Camilla wave to crowds from Buckingham Palace balcony. The Royal couple completed ceremonies after Britain's first coronation in 70 years on Saturday.
King Charles III waved to his people after he was formally crowned sovereign of the United Kingdom on Saturday, in a ceremony affirming his place in the 1,000-year history of the British monarchy while striving to keep it relevant for modern times.
The king appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in a made-for-television moment in his royal robes and Imperial State Crown, after a gilded carriage brought him back from Westminster Abbey on a day of pomp and pageantry in London.
He was accompanied on the balcony by Queen Camilla, working members of the royal family including the Prince and Princess of Wales, and pages of honour in front of cheering crowds. Notably absent was the king's son Prince Harry.
