King Charles' coronation ceremony to feature an Australian connection

New details have been released about the much anticipated coronation ceremony for King Charles in London next month. The grand procession has been shortened and some other elements also scaled back, in what many say is a bid to respect the current cost of living crisis. But there will still be plenty of pomp and ceremony, with much of the traditional regalia [[symbols of royalty]] set to make an appearance, including a royal coach built right here in Australia.
