The King is keen to put a spotlight on his heirs, Prince William and Prince George.
With just around 70 days to go until the first U.K. Coronation in 70 years, more details are emerging, including that Prince George—eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales and second in line to the throne—will be a focus at the event,Dr. Tessa Dunlop tells “Palace Confidential” that the immediate line of succession—specifically King Charles’ two heirs, son Prince William and grandson George—will be made very visible on May 6, the day of the Coronation at Westminster Abbey.
“[They] want to keep it focused on that line of succession,” Dunlop says. “So we’re going to see a lot of camera shots of Charles, of William, of George.” At the last Coronation in June 1953, Charles—then just four years old—was himself placed in the spotlight as his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was crowned. He was seated in between the Queen Mother and his aunt, Princess Margaret, in order to make the then-heir as visible as possible.’s Richard Eden adds, “We will see other working members of the royal family taking prominent roles. We’ll see them in the procession to Westminster Abbey.
The ceremony on May 6 will begin with the crowning of Camilla, Queen Consort, before Charles is officially named King when the St. Edward’s Crown is placed on his head by the Archbishop of Canterbury. A procession will then lead the newly-crowned King past thousands of onlookers to Buckingham Palace, where he and other working members of the royal family will take to the balcony, as is tradition, to wave and acknowledge the crowds assembled below.
The weekend will continue on Sunday, May 7 with a concert at Windsor Castle, and Monday will see a bank holiday in the U.K., where millions of people will get a day off of work.Rachel Burchfield is a writer whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family.
