King’s coronation cost £72 million, government accounts show

And where's constipated Conservative Andrew RT Davies aka "Mouth of the South" when you need him? Nowhere to be seen or heard. Odd, usually the gob has an opinion on money spent in Wales but strangely this precocious plonker lost his tongue. How vulgar to know that £72 million was spent on that German adulterer Charles Saxe-coburg Gotha's coronation in one day? Imagine how many doctors & nurses could have been employed by the Welsh NHS. What a waste of money? Prince William was gifted his title Prince of Wales without fanfare or cost. Why not Charles? Oh, silly me. My mistake. Old Charles had to be oiled & greased at great cost to the taxpayer so he could become king of England. The stench of hypocrisy leaves a bad taste in ones mouth, what.

Shocking amount considering the increasing irrelevance of the English royals, breath-taking that the next generation of Sax-Coburg-Gotha's came to our country this week harping on about poverty being so unfair. At least we in this country can be very proud that our attitude against them forced the cancellation of their Prince of Outsiders investiture farce in Caernarfon.

Worth every penny. Let us not forget that it wasn't just Carlo who enjoyed dressing up that day, The fragrant Penny Mordaunt and the upstanding Justin Welby also had fun in their colourful robes.

Nope, sorry mate, I can't see how this family benefits the country one little bit. Look at how much councils have to pay it just because it owns a stretch of coastline, for instance. It's disgusting that one individual should have so much money in this age of poverty.

Like the streaming TV channels that are now so fashionable perhaps we should make royalty a subscription model too. Pay towards it if you like it but opt out if you don't. After all it's not life or death is it ? unlike the NHS where I've paid a life time's subscriptions in N.I and taxes and yet have no chance of meeting my GP unless I jump through hoops and spend years on waiting lists for surgery.

I thought the coronation was the daftest, funniest thing I've seen on television for along time. A barrier placed around him halfway through the ceremony (the commentary said he was being anointed, I think he went for a p***), flunkies in fancy dress, people with funny tiles (I can't imagine what the clerk of the back stairs does...) and two pensioners with pretty buckets on their heads. Hilarious!

Utterly daft, especially when you can get a decent Chinese made guillotine on Amazon for £59.99 (not including delivery).

They should all be down the Jobcentre looking for real work instead of sponging off the taxpayer.

A disgusting waste of money just to entertain morons.

A good excuse to dress up in ridiculous outfits and prance around in public. God only knows what they are up to behind closed doors.
