This question is probably impossible to answer, because nothing is recorded that answers it. We have been told that Charlemagne's coronation as emperor was a surprise to him, but we do not know he opposed it.

Charlemagne was crowned three times. He did not oppose the first two, when he was crowned King of the Franks and King of the Lombards.
