Prince George and Princess Charlotte Dance Along to Lionel Richie at Coronation Concert
The royal family continued their Coronation celebrations on Sunday with a star-studded concert held at Windsor Castle.
The event was attended by 20,000 members of the public and invited guests, not to mention those watching from home on the BBC broadcast.
The concert was hosted by Paddington star Hugh Bonville and headlined by Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, two American Idol judges who both have close connections to King Charles.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Kate Middleton and Prince William’s two eldest children, were also in attendance, taking their spots in the front row of the royal box.
While five-year-old Prince Louis did not attend the concert, Prince George wore his signature suit and tie in a matching moment with dad, and Princess Charlotte wore a self-portraited chiffon dress, the same brand worn by Kate at Friday evening’s Buckingham Palace reception for overseas guests to the Coronation.
