Rock and royals! King Charles III, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family were all smiles as they arrived at the coronation concert.
The king, 74, and queen, 75, were joined by Prince William, Princess Kate and their eldest two children — Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 8 — in the front row of the VIP box. The musical event — held on the East Lawn of Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7 — comes one day after Charles and Camilla’s official coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
The Prince of Wales, 40, and George twinned in navy suits, while Charlotte looked adorable in her cream-colored dress with a navy bow. The Princess of Wales, 41, for her part, made a statement in a red pantsuit. George and Charlotte sat in between their parents, who sweetly pointed out the various acts on stage.
The royal family — including pregnant Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank, Zara Tindall (née Phillips) and spouse Mike Tindall — sat in the royal box to watch the various musical acts.
Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, was also among the royals to step out at the concert after Us Weekly previously confirmed that she had been left off the guest list for the crowning ceremony.
“It’s a state occasion, and being divorced, I don’t think you can have it both ways,” the 63-year-old Duchess of York, who shares Eugenie and Princess Beatrice with ex-husband Prince Andrew, told ITV last month. “You’re either in or out, don’t muck around.”
Ferguson watched the procession from home via the televised broadcast before stepping out at the Sunday gathering with her daughters.
