King Charles’ Coronation Cost £72 Million, Government Reports

LONDON, Nov 21 – The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla on May 6, 2023, cost £72 million, according to a report from the UK government. The grand ceremony, the biggest of its kind in Britain in 70 years, was watched by millions around the world and attended by over 100 world leaders.

The cost of the coronation was far lower than the £160 million spent on the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The event featured a mix of tradition and modern celebrations, including a crowning ceremony for both Charles and Camilla, along with musical performances and parades.

Despite the high cost, the coronation was seen as an opportunity to showcase British culture and traditions to a global audience. It also had a positive economic impact, especially in tourism and hospitality. However, some people have questioned the expense given the economic challenges in the UK.

Overall, the coronation marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy under King Charles III.
