British Royal Family News says that even though the UK is going through a rather rough time economically right now, King Charles is sparing no expense when it comes to his coronation.
In fact, there’s a new report that says the king “rejected the idea” of a budget coronation as he wants the festivities to become a global event. Here’s what you need to know.
Royal Family News: King Charles Is Going Over Budget For His Coronation
According to the Telegraph, “The event will be a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of “glorious” pomp and pageantry after Buckingham Palace and government aides took heed of the enormous international coverage generated in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.”
The site said that while Chuck is keenly aware of the cost of living crisis in the UK and all of the economic hardship that people are going through, “organizers have learnt that a grand royal spectacle is the most powerful way to promote Britain’s international standing,” says the site.
Of course, many royal fans and critics alike sure had a lot to say about the matter. Some comments included, “Charles is not the queen. The Queen was widely and globally respected, and because she was there for so long became some sort of an icon. People watched the funeral because they thought it was an historic event.
People traveled to pay their respects because they respected the queen. Charles is disliked. So I don’t think Brits will take this well,” along with, “He lives in and adores the past, it’s tradition, it’s history, blah, blah, blah. It is a waste of a huge amount of money for a traditional coronation. I can’t imagine anyone watching long televised coronation ceremony in this era, other than the over 68+ group. I’m 61 and I have zero interest in it.”
