Estimates put the cost of King Charles coronation at between £50 million and £100 million ($63-125 million). Future Publishing | Getty ImagesLONDON — The eyes of the world will be on the U.K. this weekend as King Charles III is crowned at Westminster Abbey in a quintessentially British display of pomp and pageantry. However, King Charles himself is said to have sought a more scaled-back celebration, with a "shorter," "smaller, less expensive and more representative" ceremony — part of his wider plans for a slimmed down monarchy. That's potentially more than the approximately £50 million in today's money — then £1.5 million — spent when the queen took the throne in 1953. It's also well above the equivalent £24.8 million — then £450,000 — spent on George VI's coronation in 1937.Who pays for the event?
