Camilla's special Coronation plan for her grandchildren after Archie and Lilibet 'snub'

Camilla's grandchildren are said to be attending their grandmother and step-Grandfather's Coronation, amid claims Archie and Lilibet will not be there.

It is understood that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children will not be attending, but the Queen Consort's grandchildren will have an official role, reports suggest.

Camilla has four grandchildren in total as her son Tom Parker Bowles has two children, 15 and 13, and her daughter Laura Lopes has 13-year-old twins.

According to The Mirror, The King's wife is hoping that her grandchildren will carry the canopy that is placed over her as she is anointed.

An invite has been extended to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and are expected at Westminster Abbey on May 6, however, palace officials consider their children - Archie, three, and one-year-old Lilibet - too young to attend the ceremony.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are still “pondering” whether to take their youngest son Prince Louis, who turns five next month.

A Buckingham Palace source told The Sunday Times that it would be 'wholly improper' for discussions over roles for the Queen Consort's grandchildren but not her husband's.

When asked if Archie and Lilibet were invited, one royal source simply noted that they were "very young".

Although it is uncertain if Louis' will attend, Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, who turns eight just days before the coronation, are expected to be at the ceremony crowning King Charles III.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are yet to confirm if they'll attend the event and are understood to be weighing up the logistics.

But if they do attend, it has been claimed that the Sussexes will not be invited to take part in the official balcony appearance.

A friend of the family told MailOnline: "They will be given the cold shoulder by very many relatives. One said to me, 'I hope they'll be seated in Iceland'.

"Many of the family just want nothing more to do with them. If they have to see them at the Coronation then so be it, but they do not want to socialise with them."
