King Charles 'backs pomp and pageantry rather than cut-price coronation' say reports

King Charles believes that his coronation is a chance to promote the UK and he plans “glorious” pomp and pageantry, it is reported.

There had been a suggestion that the King was set to be crowned in a cut-price event next year as part of plans for a slimmed down monarchy and with the country struggling in a cost of living crisis.

And while there is still talk that the guest list is going to be slashed to 2,000 from the 8,000 who crammed into Westminster Abbey for the 1953 coronation, the Palace and politicians reportedly are keen to use the occasion to show off the UK.
