LONDON, UK: King Charles III intends to make some changes to the coronation ceremony and wants to establish a modern monarchy while he is in power. Charles will be the oldest member of the royal family to be crowned as the monarch, and he is not a fan of a three-hour ceremony.

Charles is completely in favor of shortening the event and wants a simplified coronation process. Besides saving Charles time, a shortened coronation will also be less expensive and more in tandem with the current cost of living crisis. "The King is very aware of the struggles felt by modern Britons, so will see his wishes carried through that although his coronation ceremony should stay right and true to the long-held traditions of the past," a source told the Mirror. "It should also be representative of a monarchy in a modern world."
