Royal enthusiasts have reacted with disappointment after it was announced that the King’s coronation procession will be significantly shorter than the route taken by his late mother. benjaminbutter reports:
will make their way back from Westminster Abbey, along Parliament Square and Whitehall, through Trafalgar Square and finish the route down The Mall back to Buckingham Palace.
Rick Petrachi, a royal superfan originally from Italy, said he is “super excited” to camp out for the spectacle, but his family may not make the journey with such limited viewing space. He said: “I think it comes down to how busy it will be and if people have to stand outside for two days. I don’t think my mother, my family will be willing to do it.in 70 years, most of us have never witnessed a coronation, and I think many would want to witness it in person, to line the streets and take it all in, rather than just watching it on TV.
“I’ll try to get a spot along that route, but I think it will be very, very difficult for many people and some of them might actually renounce it because they will be so packed they’ll probably not even get a good spot.”The King’s shorter route is understood to have been chosen for practical reasons, appearing similar to the tried-and-tested route used for other royal processions to Westminster, such as those for the State Opening of Parliament and the Queen’s funeral.
