The coronation of King Charles III is drawing near, where the extended royal family will gather to watch as he is officially crowned. In preparation for the moment where the king and Queen Camilla are anointed (literally, with olive oil), Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY is taking a look back at the past turbulent eight months. 

Cohosts Katie Nicholl and Erin Vanderhoof analyze some of his successes on the world stage, like a well-received trip to Germany, and his decision to invite Prince Harry to the coronation ceremony. But he’s also continuing to weather criticism from a din of voices, both world leaders and a populace that questions his relevance. Even though Charles has plenty of reasons to be optimistic, there are challenges on the road ahead, both personal and political.

DYNASTY will return for more special episodes around Charles’s coronation, what his reign will mean for the monarchy, the media, and the power of one family.
