King Charles III and Queen Camilla have arrived.
On Sunday, the newly-crowned royals got a royal welcome as the trumpets sounded from the stage and they were spotted arriving at their seats inside of the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Charles and Camilla — who arrived earlier than expected — were greeted with cheers and applause from the over 20,000 attendees inside of the venue.
As they made their way, Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte curtsied as a sign of respect. Also joining them in the box was Prince William and Prince George, as well as other immediate members of the family.
The royals had mini Union Jack flags to wave as they took in the show.
Sunday’s coronation concert is shaping up to be a big event. Held on the grounds of Windsor Castle, the show will include performances by Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli and more. According to BBC, the event will take place “in front of 20,000 members of the public and invited guests, as well as millions watching and listening at home — on BBC One and BBC iPlayer as well as BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
The BBC noted that “the concert will celebrate a new chapter in the nation’s history, with themes of love, respect and optimism, celebrating the four nations, their communities and the Commonwealth.”
The big event comes just one day after the king and queen were officially crowned with their new titles during the coronation ceremony.
