Everything you need to know about King Charles coronation plans– 24 hours after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s, state funeral, King Charles III decided to leave London. In order to grieve quietly for his “beloved mama,” the new monarch travelled to Scotland with his spouse, the Queen Consort.
The coronation of the King and its date is currently on the minds of the general public. The expense of living crisis is rumoured to be the reason why King Charles is organising a coronation that will be less extravagant than his mother’s.
When will Charles be crowned?
Elizabeth II, the mother of Charles, ascended to the throne in February 1952, but she wasn’t crowned until June 1953, which is why we should anticipate the same for the new King too.
Charles might have chosen June 2, which would be the Queen’s coronation’s 70th anniversary. However, he did not choose this date.
Though it might be some months off, custom demands that a declaration be made to announce the date as soon as possible. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 3, 1953, over a year after her father’s death on February 6, 1952.
The coronation of King Charles will most likely be a more simplified event than his mother’s service 70 years ago, reflecting his ambition for a slimmed-down and more contemporary monarchy.
How much did Queen Elizabeth’s coronation cost?
Total expenses for the Queen Elizabeth II ceremony were £1.57 million, or about £46 million in today’s money.
What will Charles coronation be like?
The insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper that the King is keenly aware of the problems faced by modern-day Britons. And would see that while his coronation ceremony should keep proper and true to long-held traditions of the past, it should also be indicative of a monarchy in a modern world.
The King Charles coronation plans are that the event is going to be “shorter, sooner, smaller, less expensive and more representative of different community groups and faiths” as per the Telegraph.
It was said that a range of religions and Commonwealth leaders would be given priority among the congregation. And the number of attendees might be capped at 2,000.
Does Charles wants to slim down monarchy?
Charles is anticipated to reveal a “slimmed down” monarchy, which might involve fewer working royals.
King Charles has long made it known that he wants to “slim down” the monarchy to meet the public desire for a more modernized institution with cheaper costs and less extravagance, in addition to defining his own style.
According to a Daily Express-commissioned poll, 65% of respondents support the proposal, therefore it already seems to have the support of the general public.
