There are reports that King Charles III is set to change his Coronation with the four hour service cut down to just an hour.
In addition to this, thousand guests are set to be axed alongside a number of ancient traditions.
It comes as the new king wants to set the tone for a modernised monarchy while retaining an element of the grandeur and tradition that captivated the world during the late Queen's lying-in-state and funeral last month.

According to the Mirror, Charles has long been in favour of streamlining the monarchy, and it appears he is beginning his reign with a similar approach to his coronation. The plans will differ from Queen Elizabeth II's three-hour Coronation service which was televised for the very first time and watched by millions.
The number of guests has been reduced from eight thousand to two thousand with some MPs and peers set to miss out, the Mail on Sunday reports, with discussions being held about introducing a more relaxed dress code with lounge suits instead of full ceremonial robes.
A source told the paper: "The King has stripped back a lot of the Coronation in recognition that the world has changed in the past 70 years."
Despite wanting a change in tone from the expected pomp and ceremony, the 1762 Gold State Coach - refurbished at great cost for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee - will also be part of the Coronation procession. Following tradition, the Duke of Norfolk is responsible for organising the Coronation for Charles, with Prince William also said to be involved.
One small but important detail which will be scrapped from the procession due to the current economic climate is the traditional presentation of gold to the monarch.

During the Queen's 1953 ceremony which was watched by an estimated 20 million, an inglot or wedge of gold was presented to her, but a source told the Daily Mail that "in an age where people are feeling the pinch, this is not going to happen".
Velvet chairs made for the 1953 Coronation will likely be replaced by normal seating.
The ceremony will be televised and is expected to draw a large audience from around the globe.
It's believed the Coronation will be declared a Bank Holiday for Brits amid speculation a date has been set for June 3, 2023. If the coronation does fall on this date, it will be almost 70 years to the day after his late mother was crowned.
