money on a celebration of him becoming the monarch at that time i think it s absolutely appalling and the whole thing should be scrapped. we are expecting more details in the months ahead, but all the indications are that he ones to have a shorter, cheaper, slimmed down coronation compared with that of his mother back in the 19505. but you say that s not enough, and you would not have one at all? not have one at all? there isn t any oint for not have one at all? there isn t any point for it- not have one at all? there isn t any point for it- of not have one at all? there isn t any point for it. of course, not have one at all? there isn t any point for it. of course, he - not have one at all? there isn t any point for it. of course, he has i point for it. of course, he has taken thejob for point for it. of course, he has taken the job for no reason other than the fact his mother had it before him, and instead of a coronation which is going to be this huge state funded celebration
