A controversy has erupted after the bill of about 90.7 million dollars spent on the coronation of King Charles came to light. People opposing the monarchy in Britain have raised questions about this extravagant expenditure. While raising questions on this event held last year, people said that it was like a burden for Britain which is struggling on the economic front. 90 million dollars of English taxpayers were wasted like water in this useless ceremony.

According to official figures released by the government department, the Department of Culture, Media and Sports invested heavily in this program. These departments together spent about 50 million pounds. On the other hand, the UK Home Ministry also spent a total of 21.7 million pounds on monitoring this royal event that happens once in a year.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth of Britain in 2023, her son King Charles was enthroned. Famous people from all over the world attended his formal coronation as the King of Britain. A music concert was also held at Windsor Castle the very next night after the coronation. There was a great display of pomp and splendor in this entire program.

People are protesting against the British royal family over this expenditure. The protesters say that our country has just come out of the pandemic. Our government is constantly struggling on the economic front. But even after this, this unnecessary expenditure was being made in such a difficult time. Graham Smith, who runs an organization against the monarchy, told CNN that in which democracy can so much money be spent on the royal family at a time when children in Britain are not going to school. This is very wrong.

People opposing the monarchy also raised questions on the benefits given to the royal family. They said that the concessions and benefits given to the king in Britain are too much. There are other countries in Europe which follow monarchy but they do not give the same benefits to their kings and royal families as Britain does.

The British royal family recently had to face questions about their assets. The family was accused of earning money from public business by taking tax exemptions from the government.

A major government department working with the royal family issued a statement about the coronation and wrote that the coronation ceremony of King Charles was completed successfully. This event was watched by millions of people from all over the world including Britain. This is a moment that happens once in a generation, so it is important to make it memorable. To increase the grandeur of this event, a procession of gold carriages was taken out and the royal jewellery was displayed.
