George III and Charlotte were crowned on 22 September 1761 amid errors and delays.
The coronation took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on Tuesday, 22 September 1761, about two weeks after the royal marriage. The couple left St James's Palace around 9:00 am in separate sedan chairs for Westminster Hall, where nobility, government officials, and royal household members had gathered. The day was marked by errors and omissions: a delayed procession to the abbey preceded a six-hour service and a banquet ending at ten o'clock at night.
