‘Key role’ for young Waleses at Coronation

PRINCE George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will star in the King’s Coronation procession at Westminster Abbey on May 6, reports suggested last night.

The Prince of Wales’s children are expected to join their parents in a carriage behind Charles and Camilla, who will be in the Gold State Coach, according to rehearsal documents seen by The Times. But Harry and Meghan still have not officially indicated whether they will attend.

Even so, staff are making plans so that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will be able to join the celebrations if they do.

There is little chance of them being part of the ceremony itself given their ages – Archie will turn four on the big day itself and Lilibet will be one. A source said: ‘I’m sure they would also acknowledge the little prince’s birthday even though it’s his grandpa’s big day.’

The Sussexes would probably stay at Frogmore Cottage, their Windsor home which the King has asked them to leave by summer. Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
