The coronation of King Charles III, who is 74, and Queen Consort Camilla, who is 75, will feature young Prince George as one of the king’s honorary pages. The news comes as Buckingham Palace confirms the ceremonial roles ahead of the royal event. Page Six reported the development, which shows the Crown continuing a tradition that blends pageantry with close-knit royal circles.
According to Buckingham Palace, four pages of honor will accompany His Majesty during the coronation on May 6. These pages will participate in the procession that moves through the nave of Westminster Abbey, adding to the solemn cadence of the ceremony and symbolizing continuity within the royal household. The arrangement underscores how the pageant portion of the coronation is designed to highlight the next generation alongside senior members of the royal family.
Prince George will be joined in the parade by 13-year-old Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, whose parents enjoy a long-standing friendship with the King and Prince William. Also taking part is 12-year-old Ralph Tollemach, who is the godson of King Edward Tollemach. The inclusion of these young participants echoes a pattern seen in previous coronations where youths from influential circles have a visible role on a day of historic significance.
In addition to the pages for the King, four more young men are slated to serve as pages for Queen Camilla. The arrangement includes Camilla Laura Lopez’s daughters, 12-year-old twins Gus and Luis Lopez, and her son Freddie Parker-Bowles. The presence of these youngsters helps to emphasize the familial and ceremonial dimensions of the occasion, while also inviting the broader circle of trusted allies into the ceremony.
A short time before the announcements, Buckingham Palace issued an official invitation confirming that the coronation will take place on 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey. The royal family’s website notes that more than 2,000 invitations will be mailed to invited guests, illustrating the scale and global interest in the event. The invitation process marks the beginning of a meticulously choreographed sequence that blends ancient ritual with modern pageantry, reflecting the monarchy’s ongoing efforts to connect with audiences at home and abroad.
In related coverage, it was reported that the affair has sparked conversations about the monarchy’s evolving role and its historical ties to public memory. Observers highlight how contemporary ceremonies still draw on a framework of tradition while adapting to present-day expectations about accessibility, symbolism, and inclusivity. The royal events are often viewed through the lens of national identity, cultural heritage, and the responsibilities of a constitutional monarchy. As the coronation unfolds, analysts anticipate a carefully balanced display of solemnity, pageantry, and personal narrative that resonates with audiences across Canada and the United States, as well as the broader Commonwealth.
