The United Kingdom is preparing to crown its new king, Charles III, on May 6, 2023. 2,000 to 3,000 guests are expected for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Among these guests are celebrities, crowned heads, and heads of state and government from all over the world. Several British elected officials are irritated by the visit of Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to the coronation. The new king himself has a rather complicated relationship with China, he refused to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
