Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Friday will attend the coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as King and Queen of the United Kingdom at Westminster Abbey in London, the Presidential Administration said on Thursday.

During her visit to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Zourabichvili will also take part in the reception at Buckingham Palace in honour of the foreign leaders invited to the ceremony on behalf of King Charles III and Queen Consort of the United Kingdom.

A coronation is both the symbolic religious ceremony during which a sovereign is crowned and the physical act of placing a crown on a monarch's head. Charles III became king immediately upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, on September 8, 2022, and was proclaimed king by the Accession Council of the United Kingdom on September 10.
