On September 22, 1761, the coronation of King George III of the United Kingdom and Queen Charlotte took place. An excerpt from the article:
"By the time he was twenty-two however, his need to find a suitable wife became even more pressing as he was about to succeed the throne from his grandfather.
On 25th October 1760, King George II suddenly died, leaving his grandson George to inherit the throne.
With the marriage now a matter of urgency, on 8th September 1761 George married Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, meeting her on the day of their wedding. The union would prove to be a happy and productive one, with fifteen children.
Only two weeks later, George was crowned at Westminster Abbey."
