Marcos to attend King Charles III’s coronation in London

Malacañang on Monday confirmed that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise "Liza" Araneta-Marcos accepted the invitation to attend the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen Consort.

The coronation will be held at Westminster Abbey on May 6, Presidential Communications Office said on Monday.

The PCO said Marcos and the First Lady have accepted the invitation of the Master of the Household, upon command of His Majesty, to a reception at the Buckingham Palace on May 5 ahead of the coronation of their Majesties.

Charles became king when his mother Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8.

He also took over as head of state of 14 Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

His coronation came after a long tradition dating back more than 900 years.

The monarch's wife, Queen Consort Camilla, 75, will also be crowned on that day. —NB, GMA Integrated News
