Analysis: King Charles will never be as good as his mother - and he knows it  

During the coronation ceremony, King Charles III looked weighed down by what awaits him. Josh Glancy writes in The Times.  

"He rules over a country in chaos and a monarchy diminished by scandal, where his younger brother and son are ostracized from the inner circle," writes Glancy.  

Another worry for Charles is that several countries have announced that they want to leave the Commonwealth. Barbados is on the way and will likely be followed by Jamaica shortly. He also believes that similar processes are underway in Australia and New Zealand. 

"He will never do as good a job as his mother - and he knows it," writes Glancy.  

The Independent's Victoria Richards can't get away from the scene as Prince Harry walked alone into Westminster Abbey to settle down in the third row. 

 “Forget everything he 'did'. All I saw was a self-conscious, bitten man, full of pain and without the security of his wife," she writes.  

Richards notes that it must have been a painful day for Prince Harry, not least because it was the first time he met his father and brother after the biography "Spare" was released.

King Charles III has asked for a scaled-down coronation, but it could still cost upwards of 1.3 billion kroner for taxpayers, according to calculations according to several media. Other information claims that it should rather be about half of that sum.  

At the same time, critics have pointed out that ordinary Britons are struggling with daily expenses due to the economic crisis, writes CNBC.  

The security arrangements are said to make up a large part of the expenses, writes Fox Business.  

Neither the UK government nor Buckingham Palace would comment on the expenditure.

British succession Trained for heavy effort: "Have done push-ups"  

Tory leader and Lord President Penny Mordaunt unexpectedly played an important role at Saturday's coronation of King Charles III, British media write.  

As the first woman ever, she carried for an hour the 120-centimeter-long and roughly three-kilogram State Sword, which has been used at coronations since 1865. According to the BBC, many users on Twitter have noted the effort.  

The politician, who has a background in the British Navy, told before the coronation that she trained to be able to hold the sword high enough for such a long time.  

- I have done some push-ups, she told The Times.
