LONDON — Charles III on Saturday was crowned monarch of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms after a lifetime as heir apparent to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Before a congregation of about 100 world leaders and a television audience of millions, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby—the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church—placed the 360-year-old St. Edward's Crown on Charles' head as the monarch sat upon a 14th-century throne in Westminster Abbey. The historic, solemn event dates back to the time of the 74-year-old's predecessor William the Conqueror in 1066.
