It’s estimated that King Charles's Coronation will cost £100 million, more than double the price of Queen Elizabeth’s ceremony in today’s money. From mental health support to foodbanks, people told Metro what they would spend this budget on 👇
‘They are making a massive deal of how much money they have while others are struggling’
‘It could also be more private, an intimate event for the family – but filmed. So the nation is included – £100 million pounds is ridiculous. ‘Not to mention the ever-widening inequality in the UK – what sort of society prioritises such grand displays of wealth and power against a backdrop of poverty, homelessness, food banks, and fear about the future?
‘The country is on its arse and the people with power to fix it are prancing around in jewels and being carted around in an air-conned coach, that we’ve paid for against our will? I can’t see how anyone can justify £100 million spent on this event – they should have paid for it themselves.’‘Many disabled people are on the poverty line’
