King Charles to have ‘less expensive coronation’ amid living cost crisis
The Metro says The King is said to be ‘very aware’ of the living cost crisis – so much so that he is planning a ‘less expensive’ coronation ceremony than his mother’s.
The new monarch is also creating a ‘slimmed down’ working monarchy in response to the financial woes of Britain, according to reports.
A royal source told the Mirror the coronation would be ‘shorter, smaller and less expensive’ than the Queen’s ceremony in 1953.
A date for the ceremony is yet to be confirmed.
The source told the paper: ‘The King is very aware of the struggles felt by modern Britons so will see his wishes carried through that although his coronation ceremony should stay right and true to the long held traditions of the past, it should also be representative of a monarchy in a modern world.’
