A certain part of the pageantry at the King's Coronation could leave the Princess of Wales feeling a bit off colour, it's being reported.
And the issue that could crop up is something that Kate Middleton had in common with the late Queen.
With the big event just over a week away, preparations are stepping up to get everything in ship shape and working order before it all kicks off on May 6.
There have been months of planning behind closed doors to ensure all goes smoothly, with lengthy processions, concerts, a flypast and the official ceremony being just a few of the things that need to be executed in the right way so there are no issues.
But the Mirror is reporting on one aspect of the day that Kate Middleton will likely not be looking forward to.
In 2019, royal watchers were curious as to why the then Duchess of Cambridge seemed out of sorts while she rode in a horse-drawn carriage at Trooping the Colour - and apparently it was down to the rather bumpy ride.
Kate was sat in a carriage alongside the Duchess of Cornwall, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as they were taken from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.
The Mirror revealed at the time that the reason she was looking a bit peaky was that she was feeling sick due to the rocking of the carriage.
And they report the late Queen also suffered with seasick – despite the fact she sailed in her beloved Royal Yacht Britannia for 43 years.
The Queen then reportedly recommended her favourite pills to Kate, which will come in handy next week, as Kate is set to join husband Prince William and kids George, Charlotte and Louis in a carriage behind the King and Queen as they leave Westminster Abbey on May 6.
A royal source said at the time: "The truth is the Duchess of Cambridge gets very seasick and doesn’t enjoy the rocking motion of carriages.
“Worrying she may be ill on such an important occasion as Trooping the Colour added to her stress."
Kate is set to be among the working royals taking part in the carriage procession and balcony appearance with her husband, according to King's Coronation rehearsal documents seen by The Times.
Dr Tessa Dunlop previously told the Mirror: "History suggests working royals will stand out.
"In 1953 the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret had her own coronation gown designed by Norman Hartnell, embroidered with roses and daisies and offset with a stunning Cartier tiara.
"She travelled to the Abbey with the Queen Mother and they sat in a box overlooking proceedings with a four-year-old Prince Charles squashed between them.
"A similar scenario for the Princess of Wales and her three children is likely – William and his offspring are next in line to the throne and coronations deliberately emphasise the order of precedence and succession.
"Like it or not this state occasion is all about royal hierarchy. Visual messaging through both costume and carriage will remind us who the future King and Queen are (whether the Sussexes like it or not!)"
