Then the King Charles III will receive the crown, which has been modified to fit his head and with new arrangements to suit the King’s taste. Under the throne which the King will occupy will be placed a stone from Scotland, known as the Scone Stone, which is an ancient symbol of the Highlands.

The following day there will be a massive concert broadcast by the BBC featuring international icons and contemporary stars, as well as a light show that will be broadcast in the sky and on various buildings throughout the United Kingdom.

On the same day there will be a grand luncheon to which all UK citizens are invited, the following day, Monday the 8th, has been declared a national holiday in the United Kingdom. All this schedule sounds really encouraging, until many started to complain about the waste of money that will be made.

Netizens are criticizing the royal family and King Charles III for making a three-day celebration, wasting British citizens’ money, which could be directed to other things like health, education or food security, since the country is in an economic recession.
