Tomorrow, Charles III will be formally crowned as the monarch of the United Kingdom in what is expected to be the most significant televised event of the year. The ceremony will be filled with grandeur and pageantry, including processions, blessings, a formal coronation and a concert. The media will cover all aspects of the coronation (which is taking place in London) from who will be in attendance to the seating arrangements. This momentous event comes after the release of Prince Harry's unflattering tell-all memoir, "Spare." Prince Harry is expected to attend the coronation without his wife Meghan Markle

For those interested in watching this historic event but lack cable access, we have some great news: streaming options are available.
