The King and Queen Consort and the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have attended a coronation rehearsal at Westminster Abbey. Three days before the occasion, a relaxed-looking Charles and Camilla headed to the venue with William, Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The royal family was greeted by the Dean of Westminster and shown inside the gothic church, where Charles and Camilla will be anointed and crowned on Saturday in front of 2,300 guests and a global audience of millions. Future king George, nine, has the duty of being one of his grandfather’s pages of honour and is expected to be tasked with holding the train of Charles’s regal robes.
William will kneel before his father and vow to be his “liege man of life and limb” in the only homage of royal blood of the ceremony. He will also help clothe the King in his golden robe royal, also known as the mantle, ahead of his crowning.
