But the adorable prince was nowhere to be seen as the long ceremony progressed.

It saw viewers take to social media commenting that young Louis had “disappeared” , with many wondering where he had gone off to.

Louis was seen pulling cheeky faces outside the church before the historic occasion began.

Charlotte then took his hand to guide him through the church to their seats.

Once they sat Louis was seen asking his sister some very important questions as he was seen pointing to the Abbey’s ceiling.

Louis is set to appear alongside Charlotte in a ceremonial walk at the end of the two-hour ceremony.

And he could also appear on Buckingham Palace balcony with his parents and siblings.

Charles has now been crowned after promising to pledge his life to his country in a historic coronation ceremony watched by millions.

The monarch made the solemn oath alongside Queen Camilla in a service attended by world leaders, celebs and royals.

Smoke filled the air around Horse Guards Parade as a six gun salute rang out at the exact moment the St Edward’s Crown was placed on Charles‘ head.

The rest of Britain also marked the reign of a new King by firing their own gun salutes at precisely 12.01pm.

Thousands of royal fans camped outside cheered “God Save the King!” amid a fanfare of trumpets.

Prince William pledged allegiance to his dad, saying: “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.”

Charles’ crowning brings the coronation ceremony towards an end after a morning filled with pomp and pageantry.

The service took place in front of a host of world leaders and stars, as well as members of the royal family.

Prince Harry was among the group after he accepted an invitation for his dad’s big day – although Meghan Markle is remaining in the US for Archie’s birthday.

He sat with Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank, the Queen’s cousin Princess Alexandra, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi.

The coronation procession at 1pm will kick off the celebrations in incredible style.

Charles shunned the extravagant trappings of wealth seen in his own mother’s £1.57million ceremony as he moved towards a stripped-back monarchy.

The guestlist was slashed to just 2,000, compared to the Queen’s 8,250, and the length of the service was drastically reduced.

Even the dress code was different, with the King opting to wear military uniform instead of the silk stockings and breeches seen in the past.

But some traditions remained – including the private anointing with holy oil, which took place behind a screen.
