The coronation of King Charles III on Saturday marked a historic changing of an era, as people around the world had a chance to see the preparations for the ceremony that hasn't been held in 70 years.
The excitement was felt in the San Francisco Bay Area as well, as local coronation celebrations were planned to coincide with the weekend events in London.Sandhu was honored at Buckingham Palace by the Royal Family last week, flown from San Francisco to London to receive the prestigious Member of the Order of the British Empire medal, bestowed in a ceremony by Princess Anne. The investiture ceremony was held just as preparations for King Charles's coronation were in full swing.
The King planned for his coronation ceremony to be shorter than his mother's coronation in 1953, and King Charles III decided to expand the guest list to include a diverse group of religious leaders. For Dean and many other Brits, King Charles III represents the changing of an era, and the first chance in 70 years for younger generations to witness the ceremony.
Deputy Consul General Sandhu says cultural and ethnic diversity are also a priority for the new King. She wore a traditional Indian dress to Buckingham Palace for her investiture ceremony and was honored by the Royal family for her work to change racial attitudes within Britain's foreign service.The British Consulate in San Francisco will host a private coronation reception Saturday at Grace Cathedral.
