dc.description.abstractThis essay analyses the BBC’s live coverage of King Charles III’s coronation ritual, emphasising the interdependence of the British monarchy and the media. Drawing on the theoretical background of ritual as performance, it examines the King’s portrayal as a transcendent figure shaping social order. It offers a close reading of the ritual’s key moments according to film analysis methods. The discussion shows the coronation to be an event meticulously orchestrated between the monarchy and the media. In progressing through different spaces, the King is shown undergoing an ontological transformation linking past, present, and future. The BBC’s use of various filmic techniques constructs a narrative that connects the King with divine forces. The mediatisation of the coronation ritual thus portrays King Charles III as a transcendent figure beyond time and space. At the root of British society’s cosmology, he is depicted as legitimately representing and shaping British social values.en
