The Cost and Controversies of King Charles' Coronation

The coronation of King Charles could cost up to $125 million (£100 million) with security being a major factor in the estimated price-tag. However, the event is expected to bring in over $1.25 billion in benefits to the UK economy, with projections of $1.5 billion in tourism revenue and $130 million in extra revenue for drinking establishments and clubs. The coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6, with England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland having a bank holiday on Monday in honor of the event.
