Today he 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 will today be one of eight all-male Pages of Honour at Westminster Abbey.

He is joined by three of Camilla’s grandchildren. 

His role is to hold the King and Queen Consort’s robes during the ceremony.

Camilla’s pages include her grandsons Gus and Louis Lopes, the 13-year-old twin sons of Laura Lopes.

In addition to grandson Freddy Parker Bowles, 12, the son of Tom Parker Bowles, and her great-nephew Arthur Elliot, 11.

The King’s pages are Prince George and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, the son of former Lord Great Chamberlain David Cholmondeley, 62, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley and his wife Rose Hanbury, 39.
