In fact, some people believe there’s a very good chance it will exceed $250 million. Here’s what you need to know.
Royal Family News – The British Public Left Upset Over The Coronations’ Skyrocketing Costs
According to the Daily Mirror, King Charles’ coronation is going to be one very expensive party. While Queen Elizabeth’s coronation only cost 1.57 million back in 1953, that’s only $47 million in today’s money.
A lot of people can’t help but wonder why Charles’ coronation is costing so much money when it seems like half of the British public don’t really care too much about it anyway.
One source close to the situation explained, “Security alone will be up to £150 million, possibly more. It’s a crazy sum, but this is one of the biggest public events in recent history.

Thousands are involved – many working overtime. Just getting dignitaries into the country and to their accommodation is a hell of an operation in itself. They will mostly be taken by police escort from the airfields.That’s one small cog in this gigantic security machine – there is so much more to the operation.”

Of course, many royal critics sure do have a lot to say about the matter. Some have commented with, “This is disgusting. Why is this even being allowed? Can’t parliament step in and stop this nonsense? That money could be going to the families that need it. What a damn disgrace,” along with, “It’s shameful — all this money to feed Charles’ ego. It’s just gross. The upside: It has to supercharge opposition to the monarchy, right?? I mean, we’re not living in the days when the exorbitant costs of events like these were hidden from the people.”
So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the criticism. Watch this space.
