King Charles III coronation: Prince George to serve as 'page of honour'

London's Westminster Abbey will be the venue for a grand series of events, including pomp, pageantry, and street parties on May 6, 2023, as the British royal family prepares to hold the official coronation ceremony of King Charles III. The monarch ascended to the throne following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September of last year.

Buckingham Palace has announced that Prince George, who is the eldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, will serve as a page of honour alongside Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Master Nicholas Barclay, and Master Ralph Tollemache during the official coronation ceremony of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla. The ceremony will see the young boys standing beside the newly crowned monarchs as they are officially coronated.

The grandsons of the queen consort, namely Master Gus, Master Louis Lopes, and Master Freddy Parker Bowles, along with her great-nephew, Master Arthur Elliot, will serve as pages for Queen Consort Camilla during the coronation ceremony of King Charles III.

Prince George's participation in the coronation ceremony of King Charles III is a historic moment as it marks the first time in modern royal history that a future king will have an official role in such a prestigious event.

At the age of nine, he will also be the youngest future king to play a significant part in a coronation ceremony.
