Prince George of Wales is to take an important role at the Coronation of King Charles.
The second in line to the throne will act as a Page of Honour to his grandfather at the solemn ceremony on May 6 2023.
Four Pages of Honour will attend His Majesty throughout the service. They take part in the procession through the Nave of Westminster Abbey.
It’s an important role for Prince George who turns 10 in July. His father, the Prince of Wales, will pay homage to the Monarch at the ceremony.
There’s no set role for the second in line to the throne at a Coronation and there had been some debate over whether Prince George would play a part in the ceremony.
King Charles is the first British monarch to have grandchildren at his Coronation since Edward VII in 1902.
The other pages are Nicholas Barclay, Ralph Tollemache, 12, the elder son of King Charles III’s godson, Edward Tollemache and Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, one of the twin sons of the Marquess of Cholmondeley, now a lord-in-waiting to The King and previously Lord Great Chamberlain in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Camilla’s four pages of honour include her three grandsons. Louis Lopes, Gus Lopes and Freddie Parker-Bowles will be joined by Her Majesty’s great-nephew, Arthur Elliot, to attend during the service.
The Coronation takes place on May 6 2023 at Westminster Abbey.
