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. Not quite a costume but adorable none the less. This little pumpkin knit will have them on theme and feeling warm.

While his global reputation was once defined by his marriage to and divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, and her tragic death in 1997, some Americans now seem willing to engage with the king’s story on his own terms. But Cannadine said he expects there will be “a lot” of global interest, because no other monarchy in Europe now does coronations: “If you want to watch a coronation, this is the one to see.”
