King Charles' coronation 'will only be a quarter of the size of Queen Elizabeth's'

As the countdown to one of the biggest days in 2023's calendar begins, the new King will be readying himself for his coronation.

A number of adaptations have been revealed for the ceremony, with several more expected before the big day, reports MyLondon. The monarch will be officially crowned alongside his wife, the Queen Consort Camilla, on Saturday May 6.

It has been reported recently that the King's coronation will be shorter than the late Queen's, and the guest list to be shortened from 8,000 - in 1953 - to just 2,000. Despite the ceremony being a deeply Christian event, Buckingham Palace confirmed that there will be representatives from all faiths and denominations present.
