A Coronation Committee, made up of privy counsellors, will be appointed to arrange the ceremony.
Royal commentator Camilla Tominey said that Charles’ vision for a “slimmed-down monarchy” is an attempt to promote his image as a “frugal” monarch.
She told the Telegraph: “There’s this sense that he wants a slimmed-down monarchy to make sure that everybody is doing their bit and that there are no, so-called, ‘hangers-on’.
“I think this is Charles’ attempt to basically look like he has inherited his mother’s habit for being frugal – turning off light switches and being green – and generally being good value for money.”
Britain has not celebrated a coronation for 69 years when Elizabeth II became Queen.
Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation took place 17 months after the death of King George VI, on February 6, 1952.
