Nine-year-old Prince George was given a crown at the coronation of King Charles III. the role of a page. In the end, he took on the important task with grace, but it was allegedly preceded by a debate directly with the king. During it, George was supposed to express his fear of bullying.
The second heir to the British throne, Prince George, at the coronation of King Charles III. assumed the role of a page. It was allegedly assigned to him after he showed great interest in the ceremony. But apparently the king himself also wanted George to have a special place. In addition, he changed one of the traditions because of him.
It is said that nine-year-old George did not like the fact that he should wear white stockings during the ceremony. A source close to the royal family, according to the newspaper Mirror said the little prince “didn’t want to wear stockings and be bullied at school”. The king is said to have agreed to his grandson’s wish and approved black trousers for the pages.
The seven pages had the task of carrying their cloaks to the king and queen. This role is usually held by boys between the ages of 12 and 15, but due to George’s interest in the ceremony, the King and Queen made an exception. According to the diary Daily Records it is said that the king wished to show the heirs to the throne in the center of the action. In addition, George is mature for his age and is said to understand the role of his grandfather and father.
Prince George’s siblings Charlotte and Louis had a slightly smaller role. They were the last to enter Westminster Abbey, just behind their parents Kate and William, who closed the procession behind the King. The two oldest children, George and Charlotte, also attended the coronation concert in Windsor the next day.
