Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned alongside King Charles at the royal’s coronation ceremony this spring, it was revealed Saturday.
The couple will travel to Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach together, be crowned together, and will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony together on May 6, the palace said Saturday.
Camilla Parker Bowles will be the first royal Consort crowned in nearly a century since George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother took the throne in 1937.
Though he was considered a Prince Consort, Phillip followed tradition and was not crowned alongside Queen Elizabeth in 1953 but instead knelt before her.
The crowning of Camilla will mark a massive break from tradition for the royal family. Camilla, who was famously initially rejected as the future Queen by Queen Elizabeth, will become the first divorcée crowned as Queen Consort.
