How much the King’s coronation costs and who pays for the celebrations

The Coronation of King Charles III is set to cost many millions of pounds – and the bill will largely be footed by UK taxpayers.

The exact cost of the coronation is yet to be revealed, and a budget for the historic event has not been disclosed by the government so the total amount of public funds due to be spent is currently unknown. As with jubilees and other such events, it is understood the total cost and breakdown of funding will not be available until after the May 6 event.

Some predictions suggest the coronation could cost the nation between £50 and £100 million.
