Sarah Ferguson given key 'VIP' role at King Charles' Coronation concert - but isn't attending crowning

Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been given a key "VIP attendee" role at King Charles III's upcoming Coronation concert at Windsor Castle. The Duchess of York, 63, has learned she will not be in attendance at the official crowning ceremony of Charles and Queen Consort Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6, however there will be a seat for her and other royals at the concert some 24 hours later.

The Mirror reports that the King's Coronation concert's royal attendees will join together on the East Lawn of Windsor Castle - including Fergie's daughters, Princesses Beatrice (34) and Eugenie (33). The concert's line-up will include performances from Take That and Lionel Richie, with 20,000 lucky ticket holders there on the day.

However, it seems the Duchess of York is excited to be involved in the concert celebrations. A royal insider said that she was not expecting an invitation to the official Coronation ceremony, but was "delighted to join the wider family for the Coronation concert".
