Meg Furious as Prince George Joins Charles and Camilla in Historic Carriage Procession
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be part of the grand carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace after witnessing their grandfather's coronation.
In an unexpected twist, George could have a special role, seated alongside Charles and Camilla on the 261-year-old gold state coach.
The children of Prince William and Kate Middleton will take center stage in the momentous ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
Once the service concludes, King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will make their way back to Buckingham Palace in the iconic gold state coach, accompanied by three other carriages carrying members of the royal family.
Covering a distance of 1.3 miles, the route will take the carriages through notable landmarks such as Parliament Square, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, Admiralty Arch, and finally down the Mall, arriving back at the palace at 1:33 p.m.
The Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, who is responsible for organizing the historic occasion, described the return procession as a magnificent display of pageantry.
A total of 7,000 troops will be involved in ceremonial duties, with 4,000 participating in the procession itself.
Riding on horseback behind Charles and Camilla will be the Princess Royal, fulfilling her role as gold stick and waiting and colonel of the Blues and Royals.
Following closely behind in the first state carriage, the prince and princess of Wales will be accompanied by nine-year-old George, eight-year-old Charlotte, and five-year-old Louis.
This won't be the first time the young royals experience a carriage procession, as they delighted crowds during the platinum Jubilee celebrations last year in Orlando.
The next carriage will carry the king's youngest brother, the Duke of Edinburgh, along with his wife, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and their children, Lady Louise Windsor and the Earl of Wessex.
The third carriage will be occupied by the late Queen's cousin, the Duke of Gloucester, his wife, the Duchess of Gloucester, and Anne's husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.
Notably absent from the procession are Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, who played no formal role in the coronation ceremony.
This comes amidst the ongoing fallout from Prince Harry's book release and Prince Andrew's ban from royal duties due to his connections with Geoffrey Epstein.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, daughters of Prince Andrew, also have no formal role in the proceedings.
Upon their return to Buckingham Palace, King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will receive a royal salute from the military in the gardens at 1:45 p.m.
This will be followed by a balcony moment, where they will be joined by other members of the royal family to witness a flypast at approximately 2:15 p.m. To ensure everyone can partake in the day's events, big screens will be set up in royal parks, including Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James's Park.
Earlier in the day, King Charles, Prince William, and Kate greeted well-wishers near Buckingham Palace.
Later, the Prince and Princess of Wales had the opportunity to meet with esteemed guests, including Alina Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, and U.S. First Lady Joe Biden, who was accompanied by her granddaughter, Finnegan Biden, during an evening reception at the palace.
