Guests have been asked to bring their own lawn chairs, and despite the hour, many are expected to “come dressed as if they’re going to attend a royal event”, said the owner of the British Emporium, Sheela Bailey, who is originally from West Sussex. Following tradition, Joe Biden will not be attending the crowning of the British monarch, though the White House said the first lady, Jill Biden, would attend on behalf of the United States. Charles’s coronation is Britain’s first in 70 years, and will be the first time such an event will be accessible to a truly global audience, said Sir David Cannadine, a British historian who has studied the political and cultural significance of royal rituals. Make your pet pooch autumn cute with this little pumpkin suit. The perfect look to easily match with the rest of the family too. Britain’s fashion brands have gone above and beyond to create timeless, fun and quirky pieces that you really will want to keep beyond the day (and not just because coronation memorabilia like tea tins and mugs from Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation are now considered vintage treasures).

British car enthusiasts across the country are also marking the occasion: the British Transportation Museum in Dayton, Ohio, which boasts 62 vehicles, will be celebrating Charles’s crowning as part of its annual British Car Meet. But Cannadine said he expects there will be “a lot” of global interest, because no other monarchy in Europe now does coronations: “If you want to watch a coronation, this is the one to see.”Meanwhile, Battersea, the rescue centre the Queen adopted her dogs from, was also flattered by the subtle detail. For older Americans, Elizabeth II was an iconic figure. “You felt like you knew her even if you didn’t know her,” said Cherie Beatty, 74, a British car enthusiast from Tennessee.

While his global reputation was once defined by his marriage to and divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, and her tragic death in 1997, some Americans now seem willing to engage with the king’s story on his own terms.From candles and coins to children’s clothes, memorabilia galore is being released in preparation for the Coronation of King Charles III today. Beatty, who owns an Aston Martin, said she was impressed that Charles had converted his own Aston Martin “to run on cheese whey and excess white English wine”, as part of an effort to reconcile his environmentalism with his appreciation for car culture. So far, though, Charles III’s coronation has not generated the same enthusiasm in Missouri as William and Harry’s fairytale weddings, said James, the tea shop owner, who is originally from Surrey. Last weekend, the Texas store hosted a coronation-themed British car show and corgi parade, at which some of the corgis also wore festive attire. My favourite little bit about the coronation is that Camilla’s dress had images of her rescue dogs embroidered at the bottom,” one American viewer tweeted.
