What is the coronation of King Charles III like? (73) look? So far, not much is officially known, but experts gave their assessment in advance. According to British media reports, these British media reports said in unison that the new monarch will most likely prefer a slimmed-down version of the official accession to the throne and will forgo some ostentatious rituals. For example, the guest list is said to be cut from 8,000 dignitaries to 2,000. An obligatory handover of a gold bar will also very likely fall by the wayside.
But such a “discount crown” could bring disadvantages, say insiders. Nobility experts fear a modest ceremony could tarnish Britain’s standing in the world. The nation should be presented appropriately on the world stage. It could be a missed opportunity as pomp and pomp would draw attention to the island. Similar to the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), which among other things triggered a significant increase in the tourism sector.
For example, historian Andrew Roberts warns in the Daily Mail that the coronation is a “much needed celebration” for the British people after a winter marked by high costs and war in Ukraine. It will “backfire” if this coronation becomes a “cheap coronation”. He, at least, would be sad if that chance was wasted.
To date, there is no exact date for the ceremony. The King is expected to be crowned at Westminster Abbey in June 2023. However, it is said from various sources that Charles only wants a small celebration. The celebration aims to live up to his vision of a slimmer, more modern monarchy. Still, keep the drama and dignity. The king had many points deleted from the ceremony list. The world has changed and the royal court must also react to this, according to a source from the palace, according to the newspaper.
King Charles III’s guests should also completely do without a actually prescribed coronation robe. These belong in a museum, a former member of the royal staff is quoted as saying by the “Mail on Sunday”, who is said to have been tasked with planning the ceremony. The dress code should be relaxed: “There will be no tweed jacket or jeans, but a morning suit or lounge suit.” Special velvet chairs, such as those made for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, will not be on display either. Conventional seating would suffice.
