On September last year when queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 her elder son Charles II became King immediately.
Although Charles became the king after his mother Elizabeth passed away, he hasn't had his official crowning yet.
The coronation of King Charles II is scheduled for Saturday, May 6, 2023, and is receiving a lot of attention because of its historical significance and the amount of money it will cost.
It is highly likely that Charles' coronation will be seen as the beginning of a new era for the royal family.
While the exact cost of the coronation has not yet been confirmed, it is expected to be in the region of £100 million, which equates to approximately $125 million.
It seems like Charles wants the coronation to be simpler than usual. He thinks the monarchy should be less grand and more modern, and so he wants the coronation to reflect that.
The coronation will still happen on Saturday, May 6, 2023, but it will be smaller and more contemporary.
