King Charles the Third has officially been coronated, in an extravagant state affair that has not been seen in the Commonwealth for 70 years.

And the King has been waiting just as long to fulfill his destiny as sovereign.

But now that the big event is over – what comes next for his reign, for the future of the British monarchy, and Aotearoa’s role in it?

NZ Herald lifestyle and entertainment editor Jenni Mortimer is in London for the big event. She joins Damien on The Front Page to recap the coronation and give us a taste of the mood on the ground.
