Royal memorabilia to celebrate King Charles III’s coronation – 10 souvenirs to buy now

King Charles III’s coronation is taking place next month, much to the delight of fervent Royalists and street-party fans alike. The coronation itself will be held on Saturday 6 May in Westminster Abbey, and it’s been confirmed the King and Queen Consort are set to be crowned during this regal ceremony.

King Charles inherited the title and royal duties following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on 8 September last year. However, the official coronation of a new sovereign is traditionally delayed, to provide a pause between mourning and celebration. So, May’s the month for these royal festivities to take place.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the royal family, the extra bank holiday weekend is a welcome spring bonus to look forward to. That means there’s a whopping three long weekends in May to put us in the party mood.

In terms of the schedule, Saturday’s ceremony will be followed by the coronation procession, with the royal family later making an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, thousands of nationwide street parties are anticipated for the Sunday, as part of Queen Consort Camilla’s The Big Lunch campaign. Plus, there’ll be a concert at Windsor Castle in the evening.

Should you be planning a street party or shopping for souvenirs, we’ve rounded up a list of the best memorabilia around to mark King Charles’s accession.

From limited-edition biscuit tins and mugs, plates and teapots to commemorative tea towels, handbags and more, keep scrolling to see the coronation souvenirs worth shopping right now.
