The Coronation of Queen Guinevere refers to the coronation where Guinevere Pendragon was crowned Queen of Camelot in the aftermath of the Second Fall of Camelot.
Events
Gwen's coronation took place in the aftermath of the Second Fall of Camelot. It was attended by most of the court of Camelot, including Merlin, Gaius, and the Knights of the Round Table.
Gwen walked down the aisle of the throne room and knelt on the dais before her husband, King Arthur. Arthur then took her crown from an attendant and placed it upon Gwen's head while declaring her Queen of Camelot.
Arthur helped Gwen to her feet and kissed her, then turned them both to face the court and declared, "Long live the Queen!" Their subjects then took up the chant and repeated it five times (The Sword in the Stone).

Trivia
- Unlike Arthur and Catrina, Guinevere was not required to take an oath of office (Excalibur, Beauty and the Beast, The Wicked Day, The Sword in the Stone).
- Gwen's crown is very similar in appearance to Morgana's, the main difference being that Morgana's was set with red gemstones and Gwen's with purple (The Coming of Arthur, The Sword in the Stone).
- There were some slight differences between Morgana's vision and Guinevere's actual coronation, namely Merlin's clothes, Arthur's crown, the kiss, and some of the other characters present (Queen of Hearts, The Sword in the Stone).
