Mail On Sunday says that King Charles’ coronation will be a considerably more low-key spectacle than that of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1954, when the Queen was crowned, there was a tremendous amount of fanfare. According to the official royal website, more than 8,000 visitors were invited to attend the royal event at Westminster Abbey, and 129 nations were officially represented during the Coronation service.
During the traditional portions of the ceremony, the Queen was presented with spurs, bracelets, and a robe made of gold.
However, things are likely to change now that Charles is king, following the Queen’s death on September 8.
According to the Mail On Sunday, Charles’ coronation is being arranged in accordance with his alleged wish to “thin down” the monarchy. According to the publication, palace insiders have stated that this includes reducing the amount of pomp and circumstance that coronations in British past have exhibited in order to reflect modern times.

According to reports, the proposal calls for a drastically reduced guest list and a more relaxed dress code. Instead of more than 8,000 guests, Charles’ coronation is likely to attract just over 2,000, according to a publication.
In addition, ancient traditions such as the presenting of golden objects to the monarch will apparently be eliminated in order to reduce the duration of the event to approximately one hour. According to the Mail on Sunday, the coronation of the Queen lasted more than three hours. According to reports, Prince William, the heir apparent, could play a key role.
Buckingham Palace did not react promptly to an inquiry from Insider.
As previously revealed by Insider, Charles’ coronation could be months away as no official date has been set. Queen Elizabeth’s coronation occurred 15 months after her accession to the throne, therefore coronations occurring months after the accession of a new British monarch is not unprecedented.
Marlene Koenig, a royal historian and expert on European and British monarchies, told Insider that the coronation is expected to occur in June, the same month in which Queen Elizabeth II was crowned nearly seven decades ago.
Koenig stated that she anticipates the coronation will focus on pomp and ceremony, but not in the same manner.
