Kate and Cally reflect on the history-making coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6 May 2023. How did it compare to coronations of the past? What elements were the same and what were modernised? And does studying history cause us to set unrealistic expectations for ritual and ceremony in the twenty-first century?

To answer these questions and to see how the ceremony has changed over time, Kate and Cally take a look at the coronation of Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, who participated in many of the same rituals together in June 1509.
