It will look pretty much as it did this year when Prince Charles took the salute on behalf of the Queen. The only difference will be that he takes the salute himself as head of the armed forces.
There were Troopings before the Queen came to the throne and, presuming the monarchy continues, there will be Troopings after King Charles dies.

The former PM of Australia, Paul Keating
is speculating that KCIII might renounce
being King of Australia.
Mr Keating is suggesting that the Royals
were disappointed that Australia voted
against becoming a republic in 1999.

Politicians say many insane things. And it is obvioulsy insane to believe them when they say it.

@Mbruno: Well said.
I think it is even more true when dealing with a former PM who has been out of power for a long time and is probably looking to find ways to appear back in the news.

Unlike his late mother, King Charles III will not appear on Australian banknotes .
Note: King Charles III's effigy will still be on Australian coins though.

Not a huge surprise. It was only the one banknote, and the Reserve Bank of Australia had been noncommittal since September.
Even in 1954, with the frenzy of the royal visit, Australia switched to putting Australians on most banknotes, and the position of the monarchy in Australia changed a lot over the last seven decades. George VI had been on all of them, but Elizabeth II was only on the £1 note (then $1 after decimalisation, and $5 after the $1 coin was introduced).

I doubt they would have kept the Queen given that this was the only bank note left that had her image on it.

Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong (who was born in Malaysia) stated in a speech that Britain must own its colonial past before it can move forward in the Indo-Pacific region.
Another example here of Australia forging a different path in its foreign relations. Any royal tour in the next few months may well bring this subject up again.

If Penny Wong thinks lecturing Britain helps relations between the two countries then the Australian Foreign Affairs Department lacks diplomatic common sense. Australia is strategically vulnerable to Chinese expansionism & needs all the friends & help it can get. Hence why its rearming & joined AUKUS.
I wonder who else she thinks might be in a position to provide Australia with nuclear subs? The Americans are too busy trying to build enough of their own & their shipyards have no spare capacity. Since Canberra wants the RAN to have nuclear subs asap the the British Astute class is a likely contender.
Australia has been forging its own path ever since the fall of Singapore in 1942. It'a an interesting topic but I'm unsure how it might be relevant to a royal visit.

I am sorry - but sometimes this "service" reminded me more of a Variety show than a service of thanksgiving.... I wonder if this is still a christian service or if it would not be more honest to do it in a hall, a congress center or so in the future...?!The word of "diversity" was repeated several times and was a symbol what this event was all about....!
And, alas, loud anti-monarchist protests seem to increase (in front of the Abbey) wherever the King goes... They even said these demonstraters will be allowed in front of the Abbey on coronation day. Very disturbing development and surely unthinkable at all other coronations in the past.

Unfortunately, if the right to express an opinion is respected, there is very little the Met can do without creating a greater issue.
Hopefully by the coronation, the people supporting the King and Queen will drown out the anti monarchists.
I think the King and Queen have the right attitude by just ignoring the demonstrators.
