PRINCE William has sworn allegiance to the new King Charles with a kiss as his father was crowned King.

King Charles entered through the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, where he was crowned as King of the United Kingdom at 12.04pm.

Charles became the 40th reigning sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey – the nation’s coronation church since 1066 – as Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed St Edward’s Crown on his head.

And Queen Camilla was crowned shortly after at 12.15pm – capping her public evolution from royal mistress to “queen consort” to queen in her own right.

The King and Queen are set to return to Buckingham Palace at 1pm for lunch with the Royal Family, before making an appearance on the palace balcony at 2.15pm.
