Plans for King Charles' Coronation show rituals axed and thousands cut from guest list

Plans for massive changes to the traditional Coronation service have emerged with a more modern feel to the occasion. Traditionally the crowning of a monarch takes more than three hours and is filled with ancient rituals.

However according to The Mail on Sunday the Coronation of King Charles III will be very different to those in the past. It claims the time will be slashed to just over an hour, the old tradition of handing the King gold ingots will be scrapped.

This week speculation mounted on the date of the event. It is suggested it will be held on June 3 - the Queen was crowned on June 2, 1953, making it almost on the anniversary.
