The grandchildren of the newly crowned king have left Westminster Abbey together with their parents.

Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, were seen getting into the Diamond Jubilee State Coach after today’s coronation ceremony to join the procession.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have officially been crowned in a historic ceremony never before seen by the majority of the population.

Prince George, the future king, played an important role in the coronation as one of the pages of honour.

He formed part of the procession through the Abbey and helped hold Charles’s robes during the service.

This honour is usually given to teenage sons of members of the nobility and gentry or senior Royal Household members.

He’s actually the youngest future king to ever have an official role at a coronation.

Prince George wore his page of honour scarlet tunic decorated with cold lace trim and blue velvet cuffs, with an open-fronted design, lined in silk, as he undertook a big role in the celebrations.

He also donned an ivory silk satin waistcoat trimmed in gold braid, with wool trousers and boots. The uniforms were originally made during the reign of Elizabeth II, and have been re-tailored for the coronation.

Princess Charlotte’s outfit mimicked the Princess of Wales, as she wore an Alexander McQueen dress with a cape in ivory silk crepe, with rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs. The emblems also featured on Kate’s dress.

Prince Louis wore a Hainsworth Garter Blue Doeskin Tunic with specially designed lace work embellishment to the collar, cuffs and fronts, made by bespoke Savile Row tailors Dege and Skinner.

He was seen holding his sister’s hand in a sweet moment in the abbey as they entered ready for the ceremony.

Known for his cheeky character, Prince Louis was seen throughout the service shifting and looking distracted, like any other five-year-old.

During the first half of the ceremony, he let out a big yawn, while also pointing out something of interest to his sister.

He yawned again shortly after the King was crowned, just after midday, before being whisked out for a short planned break.

During the ceremony, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, gave a sentimental nod to tradition with her outfit of a white dress with a blue robe.

Charles has been described as a doting grandfather, with his eldest son Prince William calling him ‘brilliant’ with his three children.

He is known as ‘Grandpa Wales’ to the youngsters, and has said the births of his grandchildren reminded him of the ‘necessity of continued innovation’ of green technology.

Only three out of his five grandchildren attended the coronation, as Prince Harry’s children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – remain in California with their mum Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry attended the coronation alone and is expected to return to the US shortly after the end of the day’s events.
