You may remember that after the late Queen's death, King Charles let it be known that his Coronation would be less grand than his mother's 1953 Coronation. I seem to recall we all swallowed this line.
One royal source told the Daily Mirror that “His Majesty is very attuned to the public mood on these things and has always had an instinctive aversion to pomp in the wrong circumstance.” Even the Guardian was moved to comment on “the king’s reported preference for a more modest ceremony.”
The moral? Be aware that when King Charles and his courtiers use the word “modest,” large bills may follow.
