A Cabinet minister has provided an update on the coronation plans for King Charles III. Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan said that no plans had yet been made for the coronation of the King, as she was pressed on whether the proceedings should be scaled down due to the cost-of-living crisis.
No date has yet been fixed for the coronation of Charles. She told LBC: “We need to look at the plans on this and obviously the Palace and the King will have a great deal of input into this.
“We only just finished our period of national mourning, so we haven’t done that yet, as you would expect. And of course, we will be considering everything, but we haven’t made these decisions yet.
“We do want to give the nation a moment. When we look back at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth, it was a remarkable event where the country really came together.
“If you look back at the Jubilee, how much we did for that and how the country came together. And it can in many ways boost the economy as well.
“Rallying a community, bringing them together, is never a bad thing,” the Culture Secretary said.
