On that day, Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Her first-born son was with her in her final moments and became the new king after her death. However, the coronation did not take place until May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London. The postponement of the coronation was due to the period of mourning following the death of the previous monarch. The ceremony was televised, as was the coronation of his mother in 1952.
