King Charles of UK has been told to break with centuries of tradition and drop the wearing of silk stockings and breeches at his Coronation.
Report informs via The Sun that the monarch, 74, has opted to wear military uniform instead when he is crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
“It is largely to do with modernising the Coronation and stripping away the stuffiness.
“They think having a 74-year-old King arriving in stockings and breeches in 2023 looks too dated. They are probably right," an insider said.
The King and Queen Consort will be crowned side-by-side in Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6 — which is also the fourth birthday of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie.
The ceremony is set to be cut down from the late Queen’s three-hour Coronation to around 90 minutes to two hours.
And the abbey is expected to hold around 2,000 rather than the 8,000 it did in 1953.
