One year on, a low-key Coronation anniversary for King Charles... but will he ... trends now

Pomp and pageantry reigned at his Coronation one year ago. But, after a whirlwind 12 months, it's understandable King Charles would prefer much less fanfare this time around.

The King will celebrate the first anniversary of his Coronation today in low-key style with close friends at Windsor.

Even his wife, Queen Camilla, is unlikely to be present as she is with her own family at her private Wiltshire home, Ray Mill House.

It is understood that His Majesty wishes to mark the day 'in his mother's mould' with very little fuss, as his accession is so intrinsically bound with the sad loss of Queen Elizabeth.

But it is still unknown whether he will meet with his youngest son, Prince Harry, when he flies into London this week.

Buckingham Palace will acknowledge the anniversary on social media, while there will be military salutes in London.

The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery will fire a 41-gun royal salute with 71 horses, pulling six First World War-era 13-pounder field guns.

Over at the Tower of London, the Honourable Artillery Company regiment will fire a 62-gun royal salute. There will be further tributes in Edinburgh, Cardiff, York and Hillsborough in Northern Ireland.

But there will be little in the way of family 'celebrations', particularly from the King himself, who will more than likely simply enjoy a private dinner.

Charles will return to London tomorrow, having been given doctors' permission to undertake more public engagements again while he continues cancer treatment. It was claimed at the weekend that Prince William is concerned that his father is taking on too much.
