The pageantry of the coronation will be broadcast around the world. Here’s what to expect over the three days of celebrations.

No US president has ever attended a British royal coronation – but history shows that they signal intent by whom they choose to go in their stead.
The new queen was a subversive model for American women of the 1950s, and many traveled to London for her coronation. Their daughters and granddaughters will be among those mourning the monarch’s death.
The UK is set to spend four days celebrating the very long monarchy of Queen Elizabeth II. But as the Platinum Jubilee is marked, why do so many Americans also fawn over the British royal family?
It might seem strange, especially given the nation’s decision to sever ties with George III in 1776.
