This Saturday, something pretty major is happening: King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be officially crowned king and queen. Charles III will be the first king the UK has seen since the early '50s, when King George VI (if you've seen The King's Speech that king) passed away and a young Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne and reigned for over seven decades until her passing last fall.

For fans (and yes, even skeptics) of the royal family, this is quite an important time! And though the coronation will be held super early in the morning for us in the States, an event like this doesn't happen very often, so we'll be up, tea in hand, ready to watch and bear witness to history in the making.

Speaking of tea, our pantry could use a restock ahead of the coronation. And if yours could, too (or you want to pick up some goodies for your anglophile bestie), Fortnum & Mason is here for us. Fortnum & Mason is a British department store selling loads of treats, from teas and biscuits to wines, chocolates, and more, making it just the perfect touch for that Coronation Weekend party.

But beyond just being a British retailer, Fortnum & Mason has a history with the Royal Family, having sold its goods to many royals in the House of Windsor. It started with an order, according to the retailer's site, placed by Queen Victoria and carried on to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III.

We don't know about you, but we're ready to buy up all the tea and biscuits from Fortnum & Mason. Scroll on for our top picks for your coronation brunch get-together this weekend.

Is there any better tea to drink on the morning of the coronation than Fortnum & Mason's Royal Blend? You can enjoy this Assam blend for right around $23 on Amazon for 50 teabags. Plus, get this: This tea actually has royal roots, according to Fortnum & Mason's site, since it was made for King Edward VII, Charles III's great-great-grandfather!

For a treat that is a little extra special and delicious, you'll want to pick up one of these coronation chocolate coins. While this will likely arrive after the coronation if you're ordering from the U.S., it serves as a fun way to honor the moment.
