Idea for helping the royals end homelessness: £72 million would pay for a decent bed and breakfast for every street homeless person in England every day for a year. Maybe they could pay for their own coronations? https://t.co/tS5LF8qI6p

One of the wealthiest people in our country is officially exempt from paying inheritance tax, and we taxpayers paid £72million so he could have a parade in a gold-plated carriage. Its 2024. Why are we behaving like its the 18th century ffs?https://t.co/hFnWF0DEJm

Apparently the King’s coronation cost the taxpayer £72,000,000
I’m not happy about that
He’s a very rich man. Why didn’t he pay for it himself if he wanted so much pomp?

Just in the interests of balance and all that …
Now tell us how much money the coronation activities generated for the British economy.

Just over a quid each. And it pisses off the moaning Minnie’s. Worth every penny

Ooh!
Sorry, but the Coronation was absolutely value for money. The world came to Britain. Our King was crowned. The British people had a hell of a lovely day. I hope the King did too. It was joyous. https://t.co/VK9Wmg5B7H

And finally, this should put it into perspective. We’re just not sure how.
People are outraged at the cost of the coronation of King Charles – £72 million. That’s almost as much as Jack Grealish cost.
