King Charles III's plans for a slimmed-down coronation include non-royal dukes culled from the guest list, it has been reported.
It comes as only working royals will be on the balcony to watch the flypast over Buckingham Palace - leaving out Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
In another move to stray away from tradition, the King has decided to tell peers to leave their coronation robes and coronets at home and come dressed in what amounts to a business suit - after they have been worn for more than 500 years.
