King Charles III coronation: First details emerge of streamlined ceremony amid cost of living crisis
. The new Head of State reportedly wants to slim down on time-consuming traditions.
His Majesty has been monarch for just over a month after he acceded to the throne on September 8, following the death of his mother,Early reports of what his coronation may look like are emerging, however, with a well-placed source : “The King has stripped back a lot of the coronation in recognition that the world has changed in the past 70 years.”Palace insiders have reportedly said the Duke of Norfolk - who as Earl Marshal is in charge of arranging details of the coronation - has been asked to prepare a short and simple ceremony. Plenty of traditions will still remain, but there will also be a reduction from what has been seen previously.
Ancient rituals, such as the presenting of gold ingots to the monarch, are set to be revoked to save time, and discussions have reportedly been held for a more relaxed dress code to be implemented for guests. Peers could see ceremonial robes replaced with lounge suits, for example.
