King Charles III’s coronation should have been the very last
King Charles III's coronation, funded by the taxpayer with estimates exceeding $100 million, has been criticized as a reflection of the UK's obsession with ancient rituals and institutions that perpetuate social and economic inequalities. The event was marked by a national holiday and a call for allegiance to the monarch, heirs and successors. However, recent surveys show that support for the British monarchy is rapidly declining, particularly among younger generations, and calls for its abolition are increasing. The coronation has been described as the last indulgence of its kind, as the country needs to focus on present and future challenges.
