The coronation, and the unspecified but very large expenditure surrounding it, comes against a backdrop of galloping inflation, political polarization and widespread disillusionment over Brexit.
King Charles III’s
A vocal sector of society, she said, “would argue that it’s unseemly that while some people are resorting to food banks, someone else is riding down the street in a golden carriage.” Charles has spoken often of his desire to streamline the modern-day monarchy, and in a gesture toward simplicity — a relative concept in this context — the coronation will include sustainability-friendly gestures like the reuse of some robes from past investitures, rather than having new ones made.
The drama underscores the fact that Charles himself is a figure unlikely to fire the popular imagination. At 74, he’s nearly three times the age his late mother was when she assumed the throne at 25. At her coronation 70 years ago, beamed around the world in black and white, Elizabeth’s youthful visage and slender form made for a poignant counterpoint to the centuries-old regalia and ritual enfolding her.
“On the environment, on climate change, you really could say he was a sort of visionary,” said Jeff Pooley, a pensioner from Cornwall in southwest England. He also has the impression that Charles is “probably a very nice person.” But none of that changes his belief that the monarchy is something of a throwback.
