George, Charlotte and Louis expected to join King for coronation procession

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children are all expected to take part in the procession from Westminster Abbey which will follow the King’s coronation on May 6.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are likely to accompany the King and Queen Consort as they leave the Abbey after the service, the Times reported. The children are expected to join their parents in a carriage behind Charles and Camilla who will travel in the Golden State Coach as they return to Buckingham Palace.

George will be nine and Louis will be five while Charlotte will turn eight just four days before the coronation. George, who is second in line to the throne, and Charlotte attended their great grandmother the Queen’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey in September.

Prince Louis was not present and is thought to have been considered too young to attend the service with his parents William and Kate. It is understood the Prince and Princess of Wales are still considering what roles George, Charlotte and Louis might play on the day.

The children’s attendance at public events is not normally confirmed in advance, particularly for Louis because of his age. Kensington Palace declined to comment.

The royal children delighted crowds when they showcased their royal waves as they celebrated their great-grandmother the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year.

They made an appearance on the palace balcony for the flypast which prompted some comical reactions from Louis who held his hands over his ears, probably due to the roar of the aircraft overhead. Louis also shared a sweet moment with his grandpa when he sat on Charles’ lap
