The move would be a break from royal tradition, in which the young heirs typically watch the ceremony, but play no part in it. King Charles played no role in the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and likewise, the Queen only watched during the coronation of her father, King George VI.
With the service taking place on a Saturday, Prince George will be free to take part, as he won’t be in lessons at school.
Camilla’s own grandchildren have been confirmed to play a role, with the Sunday Times reporting that they will hold a canopy over the Queen Consort as she is anointed with holy oil.
Further details about the coronation continue to be announced as the big day draws closer, including how Charles will pay a poignant tribute to his late father, Prince Philip.
The ceremony will feature various new compositions to mark the occasion, and Charles personally requested the inclusion of Greek Orthodox music, which will be performed by the Byzantine Chant Ensemble.
Philip, who sadly passed away in 2021, was born in Greece as part of the Greek and Danish royal families. He was raised as a Greek Orthodox Christian and was baptized at St George’s Church in Corfu.
There has also been confirmation that on the Tuesday following the service, Charles will host his first garden party as monarch.
The party will be held on Tuesday 9 May and guests have already begun receiving their invitations for the prestigious event.
