King Charles III's Coronation is less than one month away. As new details have been announced (including the official invitation and what role Prince George will play), many of us are wondering which royals will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the special event.
Following the King's rumoured plans for a slimmed-down monarchy, it is believed a group of 15 working royals will stand on the famous balcony on Saturday 6th May, reports published by The Mirror say. Concluding ceremonial events, this is when the royals will watch an RAF flypast.
While it has not yet been confirmed by the Palace, members of the Royal Family set to appear on the balcony include King Charles, Camilla, Queen Consort, The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Princess Anne.
The full list of royals include:
- King Charles
- Camilla, Queen Consort
- Prince William
- Kate, Princess of Wales
- Prince George
- Princess Charlotte
- Prince Louis
- Princess Anne
- Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence
- Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh
- Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh
- Prince Edward, Duke of Kent
- Princess Alexandra
- The Duke of Gloucester
- The Duchess of Gloucester
A source told The Mirror: "The King has been very clear who he wants to represent the monarchy. There is little room for sentiment, this is a State occasion, not a family occasion and it is right that only the working members of the family are there at the big public moment."
In other Coronation news, the official invitation for the ceremony has been revealed. The invitation, which will be issued in due course to over 2,000 guests who will form the congregation in Westminster Abbey, has been made on recycled card with gold foil detailing.
Referring to Camilla as Queen for the first time, the invitations say: "The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla - By Command of the King the Earl Marshall is directed to invite... to be present at the Abbey Church of Westminster on the 6th day of May 2023."
