Mass Observing the Coronation of Charles III places the coronation of Charles III within a broader framework of royal events in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially the ways in which people think about and engage with monarchy, whilst offering critical reflection on social and cultural continuity and change in Britain over the 20th and 21st centuries.
The book includes the reports and photographs of the mobile investigators, as well as Observers’ writings of pre-coronation activities and the day diaries for May 6th. Following in the footsteps of the original 1937 George VI Mass-Observation coronation publication, the volume also bears witness to social and cultural change over time, including the media response and reporting of both pre-coronation planning and coronation weekend events, such as the Big Lunch, the Big Help Out and the crowning ceremony itself.
