With the historic event taking place on a Saturday everyone is keen to know if a Bank Holiday will follow...
King Charles III’s Coronation will be held on Saturday May 6 next year, with the Queen Consort being crowned alongside Charles, Buckingham Palace has announced.
According to the Telegraph, the “assumption” that there would be an extra Bank Holiday has caused an “issue” with government planning amid fears for the economy. “The coronation will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”
Charles’s coronation is expected to be on a smaller scale and shorter, with suggestions that it could last just one hour rather than over three. The King acceded to the throne on September 8, immediately on the death of his mother, Elizabeth II – the nation’s longest reigning monarch. The wife of a king automatically becomes a Queen and only a change in legislation would prevent her from doing so, but there had been much controversy over whether Camilla would use the title, being Charles’s former mistress who became his spouse.
