Asked about the spending on the event, the First Minister said: “The fact that we do have a monarchy means that there’s got to be a coronation, there’s going to be money spent on it.“My focus up here in Scotland is making sure every penny we spend in the Scottish Government is focused towards reducing poverty.”
