The coronation of King Charles III in 2023 incurred a total cost of 72 million, primarily funded by British taxpayers, reigniting debate over royal expenditures.
With over 100 million in estimated total costs, the coronation sparks discussions on whether taxpayer funds should support such events amidst a struggling economy.
According to DCMS, the coronation, attended by global dignitaries, was a successful event that highlighted the UK's national identity despite public dissent on funding.
Polls indicated a majority of Britons felt the government should not finance the coronation, especially given the economic strains affecting the UK.
