On the grandest of royal occasions, the King and Queen Consort were crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey on Saturday with their family around them.

King Charles was supported by his sons Prince William and Prince Harry, daughter-in-law Kate Middleton and the Prince and Princess of Wales' three children — Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

While the Duke of Sussex traveled in from California for the church service, Meghan Markle remained home with their daughter Princess Lilibet, 23 months, and son Prince Archie, who turns 4 today.
