Julie shared a photo on her Instagram stories with her more than 106,000 followers and wrote, “Let the party begin! Coronation banquet. Guildhall City of London.’

The coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6.

Julie revealed earlier this week that she is “honored” to attend the historic event that sees Charles III and his wife, Camilla, officially proclaimed King and Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth.

She shared a photo of her invitation and wrote: ‘I am honored to be invited and will be attending Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May 2023 at 11am to witness the coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla – history in the making.’

Julie is attending because she is the chairperson of the Princes Trust in Australia, which helps young people find work.
