Wills and Kate’s kids all have a staring role in the historical event today
The first coronation in 70 years will see multiple members of the firm involved.
From next-in-line to the throne William and his three kids to Charles’ only sister Anne, the majority of the working royals will have a special part to play.
King Charles
King Charles will travel alongside Camilla in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach as they make their way to Westminster Abbey.
They will arrive around 10.53am with the ceremony starting at 11am.
Charles will then be seated in the ancient oak coronation chair and face the high alter.
Six Guardsmen, led by a Warrant Officer, will then move a newly embroidered Anointing Screen to give the King privacy as he’s anointed with Holy Oil.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will then place the oil on Charles’ chest, hands and head in the shape of a cross.
Once the ceremony is over, the King will make his way back to the palace for a viewing on the balcony.
Queen Camilla
Camilla will be attending the event wearing a crown made by Garrard for Queen Mary.
She will travel in the coach down The Mall alongside husband Charles.
Camilla has recently dropped her title as Queen Consort before she is crowned as Queen today.
Prince William
Prince William will arrive around 10.45am with wife Kate.
He will travel in the Coronation Procession from the Abbey to Buckingham Palace.
He is expected to wear a small crown called a coronet as he vows to be the vow the “liege man of life and limb”.
This means he will be required to kneel down in front of the monarch and pay homage to him.
Usually, this would apply to all men in the family, however King Charles will break with the tradition and William will be the only male royal to perform the ritual.
He will say: “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God.”
Princess Kate
Kate will appear in the procession as the Firm head to Westminster Abbey.
She will join her family in the carriage from Buckingham Palace, travelling past thousands of spectators on The Mall.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
Prince George, nine, will become the youngest future monarch to play a senior role in a coronation.
King Charles was four when he witnessed his late mother’s coronation — when he attended as a guest in the congregation in 1953.
But Prince William and Princess Kate‘s eldest son George is set to be one of eight all-male Pages of Honour at Westminster Abbey.
Their role will be to hold the King and Queen Consort’s robes during the ceremony — which is expected to be scaled down to around two-and-a-half hours.
Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, will appear in a ceremonial walk at the end of the ceremony.
The trio could also be set to appear on the balcony along with the rest of the working royals.
Princess Anne
During the procession, Anne will be the Gold-Stick-in-Waiting – a role historically handed to a person entrusted with the safety of the monarch.
This will see her travel on horseback behind the newly crowned King and Queen Consort after the ceremony.
Then, as Charles and Camilla ride in the Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace, Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel.
The 72-year-old was said to be “incredibly honoured” after being chosen for the role.
