British car enthusiasts across the country are also marking the occasion: the British Transportation Museum in Dayton, Ohio, which boasts 62 vehicles, will be celebrating Charles’s crowning as part of its annual British Car Meet.

Britain’s fashion brands have gone above and beyond to create timeless, fun and quirky pieces that you really will want to keep beyond the day (and not just because coronation memorabilia like tea tins and mugs from Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation are now considered vintage treasures). In Grapevine, Texas, as many as 200 people are expected to gather at 4am local time to watch the coronation on a screen in the parking lot of a local British grocery store. Guests have been asked to bring their own lawn chairs, and despite the hour, many are expected to “come dressed as if they’re going to attend a royal event”, said the owner of the British Emporium, Sheela Bailey, who is originally from West Sussex.It’s still far from clear how large the global audience for such an event will be today, Cannadine said, and whether it will surpass the global viewership of the royal weddings or the state funeral of Elizabeth II, which was reportedly viewed by at least 29 million people in Britain and 11.4 million in the United States, according to television viewership figures.

Though Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 was televised, and by some accounts launched the age of modern television spectacles, “not many people owned television sets”, Cannadine said.

Meanwhile, Battersea, the rescue centre the Queen adopted her dogs from, was also flattered by the subtle detail. In Grapevine, Texas, these corgis won a costume competition on 30 April at a party in honor of Charles’s coronation, sponsored by the British Emporium, a family-owned grocery store.

Sure to spark plenty of looks and conversations, this is one outfit that will definitely get a double glance.For older Americans, Elizabeth II was an iconic figure. “You felt like you knew her even if you didn’t know her,” said Cherie Beatty, 74, a British car enthusiast from Tennessee.
