What the people of the real Coronation Street think of the crowning of King Charles
The entire nation celebrated the coronation of King Charles III with a host of royal-themed events and street parties today.
When students Josh, 22, and Shalamar, 20, were asked whether they would be tuning in to watch the coronation, Shalamar said: “We were thinking of having a barbecue if the weather is nice and watching some parts on the TV to give us something to do. “It’s a national moment for Britain, but I don’t think the UK supports it like our neighbours in Australia - I’ve seen so many that ask about the royal family there.
Jova Bostanci, originally from Scarborough, saw the coronation as 'disguting' during a time when households across the UK continue to struggle with cost-of-living pressures. Jova, 22, said it was 'unfair' the event will essentially be funded by the taxpayer. “How much money they’ve spent on it is unnecessary. It’s very small minded using all that money when they could have worked around this event by incorporating supporting the public at this moment."
Gabby, 22, said: “I honestly think it’s a big joke given the economic climate in the UK. It sort of reminds me of propaganda, the event acts to show the country is doing well when it’s not. There’s so many people homeless and jobless, struggling and the situation is worsening.
