While Kate recently celebrated Princess Charlotte’s eighth birthday at the Royal Ballet, she is now dedicating her time to getting the children ready for the four-day event. The question of what roles the royal children will play at the coronation has been the subject of much discussion.
While Prince George has been appointed as one of the king’s Pages of Honour, his younger siblings have not been given official duties. There is speculation that Charlotte may have to keep Louis in line.
Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, and commentator, believes that Kate is gently preparing her children for the big day, which can be a daunting task, especially for a lively five-year-old like Louis. His antics, such as making funny faces and waving frantically, have entertained the public during previous royal events, OK! Magazine.
It remains to be seen if Louis can behave himself better at the coronation. Jennie noted that Kate will be keeping her fingers crossed for Louis and helping George to manage his nerves. She will likely take on a motherly role and act as a calming influence for the children.
On Wednesday, William and Kate attended a rehearsal with their children at Westminster Abbey for the coronation. With Prince Harry’s children not in attendance, George, Charlotte, and Louis will be among the youngest guests. Archie and Lilibet, who are not attending, will stay at home with their mother Meghan Markle in the United States.
