Prince George will play a key role of Page of Honour at the King’s Coronation next month.
The future king, who is just nine-years-old will walk behind his grandfather helping to carry his robes as he enters and leaves Westminster Abbey, writes The Mirror.
The King and George’s dad Prince William, were eager for the young prince to play an important role on May 6 - making him front and centre.
George and seven other boys named Pages of Honour will “attend their majesties”, the King and Queen, during the service.
Their main role is to carry their long, heavy robes. The honour is usually granted to teenage sons of members of the nobility and gentry, and especially of senior Royal Household members.
The boys are either relatives of Charles and Camilla or family friends.
These roles traditionally go to boys aged 12 to 15, but young George was given the task after showing a “deep interest” in the ceremony
.
A Palace insider added: “The King is very keen to show those in the line of succession, his natural heirs, at the centre of his Coronation.
“Even though he is only nine, George is very mature and already has a deep understanding of the roles of his grandfather and father, as well as his future role.
“This task is a wonderful sign of the future being laid out by the King.”
The King’s other Pages of Honour will be Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, Nicholas Barclay, 13, and Ralph Tollemache, 12. The Queen Consort’s Pages of Honour will be her grandsons, twins Gus and Louis Lopes, and Freddy Parker Bowles, along with great-nephew, Arthur Elliot.
On the day, the boys will wear a scarlet frock coat with gold trimmings, a white satin waistcoat, white breeches and hose, white gloves, black buckled shoes and a lace cravat and ruffles.

Queen Camilla’s son has her back.
The Crown is re-creating King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s big day!
Queen Consort Camilla’s son has revealed the foods that she would have banned from the Coronation Day menu. Food critic Tom Parker Bowles discussed what sorts of dishes would be fit for a King and Queen on the big day when he appeared on The News Agents podcast. The 48 year old writer also gave his verdict on Coronation Chicken – the dish invented to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II taking the throne in June 1953 – describing it as "really horrible" now, despite it being something "quite nice and probably quite exotic for the 50s".
Prince Edward has tried King Charles’ new “Coronation Quiche” as the recipe for the dish was officially revealed. The 59 year old royal - who was officially made Duke of Edinburgh on his birthday last month - joined The Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith in trying the official coronation pastry at a special Big Lunch at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, attended by faith leaders from across the country.
“olive branch” to the estranged Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.The monarch has prominently featured a photograph of the controversial Duke and Duchess of Sussex in his official coronation souvenir program. Markle’s appearance is raising eyebrows considering she’s infamously not attending the historic May 6 event.The fun family photo was actually snapped in Clarence Gardens in 2018 for Charles’ 70th birthday, which explains the absence of Harry and Meghan’s babes Princess Lilibet, 1, and Prince Archie, 3.Of course some social media watchdogs are cattily calling out the dated image.
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have personally chosen a “Coronation Quiche” recipe that includes an ingredient loved by A-list celebs - edamame beans. The Royal Family’s official Twitter account has shared the recipe for the open baked savoury tart that can be made for the Big Lunches set to be held to mark the King and Queen Consort's crowning. It features cheddar cheese, spinach, tarragon and either broad or soya beans - also known as edamame.
Prince Harry will be supporting King Charles on the monarch’s big day – but several royal watchers believe the Duke of Sussex will be left out in the cold when he returns to his home country. On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Duke of Sussex will attend his father’s coronation, ending months of speculation about whether the prince would be welcomed following the publication of his explosive memoir "Spare." His wife, Meghan Markle, will remain at the couple’s home in California with their two young children, the palace said.The May 6 date of the coronation coincides with their son Prince Archie’s birthday.

Charles is not inviting his former sister-in-law the Duchess of York to his coronation, The Independent has learnt. Sarah Ferguson, who still lives with Prince Andrew and is very close to him even though they divorced in 1996, will have to watch the 6 May celebrations at Westminster Abbey on TV. The news follows the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to miss the coronation by staying at her home in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet while Prince Harry attends alone.
Prince Harry has confirmed he will be attending his father King Charles’ Coronation, but a royal expert has shared he will be "nowhere near" the Buckingham Palace balcony on the day.

With the Coronation just around the corner, King Charles appears to be a "calmer person", according to body language expert Darren Stanton.The King and Queen Consort Camila, who will become 'Queen Camilia', will be Coronated on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. And experts believe King Charles will slip into his new role just fine since becoming much more "comfortable" at big events. Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren explained: “King Charles was shown shaking hands and making a swift exit following the [Easter] ceremony.
King Charles' Coronation plan has been "thrown into chaos" after Prince Harry missed the deadline on RSVP-ing and rehearsals ran late, it has been reported.Tensions are running high with less than three weeks to go before the historic event on 6 May, and it's said that organisers are concerned that the public could switch off if it goes on too long, after rehearsals overran "significantly". It's thought that seating plans have still not been finalised due to Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle, 41, still having not confirmed their attendance, but it is believed that a decision is imminent.
