Smoke blasted from the barrels of six large horse-drawn guns in a 41-gun salute in Green Park, next to Buckingham Palace, at noon. An hour later, three guns cracked off a 62-shot salute from Tower Wharf next to the River Thames. Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned in Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023, in a glitzy spectacle that echoed medieval times as he was anointed as monarch following the September 2022 death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.Rohan Wadke, a visitor to Buckingham Palace, applauded Charles for confiding in the public about his health issues., where he held hands with a patient receiving chemotherapy drugs and told her he was due for treatment that afternoon.

Manda Pillay-Maloney said that she visited the palace Monday — a holiday in the U.K. — to recognize the year since Charles was crowned. “Excited, happy to be here,” Pillay-Maloney said. “It’s my first stop since I’ve arrived from Stevenage, just to ... pay my respects and say, hey, thank you ... you’re doing a good job.”
