King Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned on Saturday (local time) in a formal ceremony at London's Westminster Abbey.
New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins was among the 2000 invited guests, which included actresses Dame Joanna Lumley, Dame Judi Dench, Emma Thompson and singers Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
Although Prince Harry attended the coronation alone, he was not present for the iconic photograph on Buckingham Palace's balcony and reportedly was on a return flight to the US just 28 hours after arriving in England, to make sure he could celebrate his son Archie's fourth birthday.

Katy Perry goes viral for seating struggle
Meanwhile, Katy Perry has prompted widespread hilarity on social media after footage of the popstar struggling to find her seat at King Charles III's coronation went viral.

Perry was also caught losing her footing while departing the event, with a photographer snapping the moment she regained her balance after a slight stumble in her white stiletto heels.
