One thing has always been known about Charles: he was the man born to be king of England. Tomorrow, he becomes the 40th monarch to receive a coronation at Westminster Abbey, a tradition dating back to 1066; Britain’s new Carolean era will officially commence. But aside from that fact, known since his birth, we will only learn in the coming days, months and years, what kind of king he will be.
