Seven is rolling out the royal red carpet this week across Sunrise, Seven News, and live Coronation coverage on Saturday, in association with the BBC.
Seven’s Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson, said: “The Coronation of King Charles III will be a spectacle for the ages.
“To capture the magnitude of this historic event, you must be in and around where it’s taking place. We have the best people in the best spots at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and across London.
“Being there ensures Australians at home will tune in to the very best coverage,” he said.
Be a part of history unfolding, as the British monarchy crowns its new King and his Queen Consort during a week of extraordinary coverage, culminating in 7NEWS Special: Coronation of King Charles III from 4.00pm this Saturday on Channel 7 and 7plus.
From tomorrow, Sunrise co-host David Koch will be live from 5.30am in London for the week, crossing to Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington at Brekky Central each day. They will be joined by royal expert Victoria Arbiter and the King’s biographer Robert Jobson for all the breaking royal news.
A special edition of Weekend Sunrise, hosted by Monique Wright and Matt Doran from 7.00am this Saturday, continues the coronation countdown before 7NEWS Spotlight presenter Michael Usher and former BBC royal correspondent Angela Rippon take the helm from 4.00pm AEST.
After 6.00pm 7NEWS bulletins on Saturday, coverage of the King’s Procession to Westminster Abbey will begin from 7.00pm until late on Channel 7 and 7plus, while Melbourne viewers will shift to 7two from 7.30pm.
Michael and Angela will broadcast from Buckingham Palace, while Kochie and Victoria will be positioned at Westminster Abbey, where the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, will conduct the official Church of England service.
The live broadcast, in association with the BBC, will cover all ceremonial events throughout the day, providing audiences with a front-row seat to the procession and inside the Abbey, before the newly crowned monarchs are presented to the public for the first time from the famed balcony of Buckingham Palace.
7NEWS UK and European bureau chief Hugh Whitfeld and correspondent Sarah Greenhalgh will team with 7NEWS chief reporter Chris Reason, 7NEWS Adelaide co-host Rosanna Mangiarelli and Sunrise reporter Mylee Hogan to deliver the most comprehensive daily royal updates – capturing all the pomp, pageantry and royal family drama from inside Palace circles and beyond.

I’m surprised Angela Rippon hadn’t been snapped up by the BBC or ITV, she’s an icon in the UK.
And she is just one of the many “experts on all things royals” competing with “who knows the royals best” just like they all did with the late Queen’s funeral and that is the reason that turns me off watching free to air and why prefer BBC News with Huw Edwards. He was the first one who delivered the news so calmly and precisely to the nation and the world of her death.
I would guess that Seven offered her more money than the BBC and ITV to be part of their coverage.
Possibly but the difference is he was offered a knighthood (she got CBE) for his dignified delivery of the news and he is precise with his knowledge of royal protocol and history unlike some OTT journalists and reporters who think they are just as important as the event itself.
