King Charles Coronation: What time is the ceremony in UK, US, Australia, etc?

King Charles is set to be officially crowned the monarch in a historic Coronation ceremony tomorrow, May 6, at the Westminster Abbey in London, and millions across the world are expected to tune into special coverages of the first such royal spectacle in 70 years.

According to the official BBC, the Coronation ceremony will start at 11 a.m. London Time, which is UTC +1; coverage, however, will start much earlier as the royals make their way to the Abbey for the ceremony.

It is expected that full coverage of the Coronation Procession could start as early as 9-10 a.m. London Time, which means those watching in the US will have to rise extra early as all three US time-zones will still be at dawn break or earlier.

As per CNN, for those living in the US, the Coronation will start at 6 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), 5 a.m. Central Time (CT), and 3 a.m. Pacific (PST).

For Australians, the ceremony will start at 3p.m. Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

Those watching from Pakistan will see King Charles’ Coronation starting approximately around 3 p.m., as the country is UTC+5, while London time is UTC+1.

King Charles’ landmark Coronation is set to make history on multiple grounds; it is the first coronation in 70 years, and Charles himself is the oldest monarch to be crowned. His wife, Camilla, will also be the first Queen Consort to be crowned at a coronation.
