This history, first of its kind, begins before the first Coronation in 973 and ends in that of Elizabeth II, but reading it in the hindsight of the so recent coronation of King Charles III is what makes it so relevant and 'real', emphasising the fact that, uniquely, England has always opted for evolution and not revolution, and highlights a more than a thousand-years old tradition of committal of the monarch to the people, that we can all be proud of.
