‘Happy and glorious’: what the papers say after King Charles’s coronation

The crown weighs heavy on newsstands this Sunday morning.

On its front page, the Observer has “King Charles III … His crowning moment”. There’s room for other news, though: “Labour winning back swathes of Brexit voters, data reveals”.

The Observer’s front page, Sunday 7 May 2023

“Happy and glorious” declares the front of the Sunday Express.

The Mail on Sunday publishes a “Historic souvenir edition”. Charles and Camilla are together on page one, headlined: “The look that says ‘Darling, it was a triumph’”.

The Sunday Times, like others, did a souvenir wrap – it is simply labelled “Coronation of King Charles III”. The front page inside says “At last, their crowning glory”, with the same picture as the MoS.

Another souvenir cover: the Telegraph has an indoor shot of the king and queen in their crowns and regalia.

The Sun on Sunday calls this moment Charles’ “Crowning glory”.

On the front of the Sunday Mirror there’s more of that simple labelling – “King Charles III, May 6 2023”.

The fun-loving Daily Star dubs his majesty “King Chas III”.

Scotland’s Sunday Mail says “King of the world”. We say “Eh?” The paper continues “A record-breaking 300 million people globally watch historic coronation of Charles III”. We say “Err, OK …”

To other realms, and in Melbourne, Australia, the Sunday edition of the Herald Sun goes with “Long live the King”. There’s Charles again, waving. Its Sydney sibling, the Sunday Telegraph, has more or less the same front page.

France’s Le Journal du Dimanche says “The Crown”. Inside it promises you’ll find Tony Blair’s confidences about the king, plus coverage of the coronation protests: “In the UK, not everyone is a royalist”.
