In touch with the people? King Charles & Camilla’s new coronation announcement

King Charles has previously promised to modernise some parts of the coronation, which is set to take place at Westminster Abbey on May 6 this year.

That seems to have been thrown out of the window as Charles and Camilla will have two brand new thrones made for them, as they sit through the ceremony.

The Daily Mail reports each monarch has their own unique Throne Chair for the enthronement part, as a Palace source confirmed: “There is always a new throne for a new monarch, and this will be no exception.”

So how much will it all cost?
