The eldest son of the 41-year-old princess and the 40-year-old Prince of Wales is second in line to the throne after his father. Palace insiders assure: 74-year-old Charles III. he expressed his wish that his grandson would participate directly in the events as the closest heir to the throne.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have set a strict condition on whether their son and future King George will play a role in the ceremony. “They have made it clear that Prince George should not be under scrutiny if he is to attend the coronation,” the source said.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are due to meet the monarch and Queen Consort Camilla soon to discuss George’s role in the event. If the young heir to the throne is trusted to stand alongside his father and crowned grandfather, it will mark a break with long-standing royal traditions. At the last two coronations, the young heirs Charles III. and Elizabeth II. they did not participate in the process, they were simply present in the hall and watched the events from their seats together with other family members.

“Georg’s appearance will add the right symbolism to the future and give him a moment he will remember forever. It’s a different experience, of course. This coronation is getting more interesting by the minute,” said royal historian Hugo Vickers.

George’s younger sister and brother, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, will also be watching from the gathering. Historian Dr Tessa Dunlop spoke about how the young royals will be presented in their outfits alongside their parents.

“George, Charlotte and Louis will be very attractive – just as Prince Charles was dressed for his mother’s coronation.” Expect Charlotte to wear a dainty little tiara, perhaps even the one the late Queen wore at her father’s coronation aged 10. The two brothers will be dressed in coats and trousers,” Tessa Express quotes.

According to the expert, the appearance of the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales will noticeably decorate the ceremony. The young heirs to the throne attracted a lot of attention when they attended Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee celebrations.

“Kate likes to dress her children, so rejection is unlikely. And of course everyone will want a rare picture – this is a photo of two brothers and a sister next to the King and Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the service,” added Dunlop.
