British Royal News suggests that Brits everywhere are actually supporting King Charles’ plans for a “slimmed down monarchy” as the king himself is planning a small coronation in the midst of cost-of-living crisis in the UK. Here’s what you need to know.
King Charles is reportedly planning a coronation ceremony that would be “shorter, smaller and less expensive” amid Britain’s cost of living crisis. He also plans a “slimmed down” monarchy, with the number of working royals cut to seven, a source told the Daily Mirror.
It Looks Like King Charles Will Have A Slimmed-Down Monarchy After All
The move has strong public support, with 65% of those surveyed backing the idea, and just 7% against, according to a poll commissioned by the Daily Express. A date for a coronation ceremony has not yet been announced, but May and June 2023 are possibilities. “He has already spoken of his wish to continue his mother’s legacy and this includes continuing to recognise what the people are experiencing day by day,” the royal source added.
The source added: “The King is very aware of the struggles felt by modern Britons so will see his wishes carried through that although his coronation ceremony should stay right and true to the long held traditions of the past, it should also be representative of a monarchy in a modern world.”
The Queen’s death marks a huge moment of transition for members of the royal family as they take on new roles, titles and responsibilities. The Express reports the number of working royals could be cut to seven, which it said would likely be the King, Queen Consort, Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, the Princess Royal, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
King Charles decreed on September 9, the day after the Queen died following her 70-year reign, that a period of mourning would be observed until seven days after the funeral. We will update you with all of the latest details as they come in.
