King Charles III was crowned on Saturday 6 May in a landmark coronation surrounded by his closest family members, as well as VIPs from around the world.
His Majesty appeared alongside his wife Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family on Buckingham Palace's balcony as he waved to the crowds and watched the spectacular flypast.
Despite the historic moment going without a hitch, it turns out it was a little more chaotic behind the scenes: the Daily Mail has revealed the palace had to put down temporary flooring amid their major renovation works, for the royals to even make their way to the balcony.

For now, Charles and Camilla are residing at Clarence House, a much more modest property than the main palace.
What is King Charles and Queen Camilla's home Clarence House like?

Prior to moving in, Charles did action renovation works on the home, but he also made sure to keep many of the rooms the same as when his grandmother lived there – as a fond memory of her.

However, when Charles hosts officials at his home, this does give fans a chance to see glimpses inside.
The King grows his own organic fruit and vegetables in the garden at Clarence House, but it is his country residence Highgrove House that has the really impressive outdoor space.
Whenever His Majesty's team shares pictures of the garden on social media, the praise comes flooding in. "Heaven on Earth," penned one, while another wrote: "I really must add a visit to Highgrove to my bucket list. Charles is the master of design, the garden is beautiful."
Within the grounds, there's also a special tribute to his beloved dog who passed away in 2002. Tigga, his Jack Russell, was welcomed into the family as a puppy and the dog became a much-loved member of the royal household.

Tigga is buried within the grounds and there is a striking willow weaved sculpture of a dog, which was designed by @emmastothard and is there for visitors to admire when they tour the royal residence.
