Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Join Kate and Prince William at Coronation Rehearsal
With King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation just three days away, the Prince and Princess of Wales brought their three children to Westminster Abbey for a rehearsal.
The coronation rehearsals are in full swing, and Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their children joined in the action on Wednesday morning.
The Wales family arrived at Dean’s Yard behind Westminster Abbey, coinciding with a changeover of classes at neighbouring Westminster School.
The kids who spilled out into the area to move between lessons spotted the young family and excitedly waved.
Princess Charlotte, who celebrated her eighth birthday on Tuesday, waved back, while Princess Kate seemed relaxed and happy.

On Wednesday morning, King Charles arrived at Westminster Abbey, where around midday on Saturday, he will be crowned by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
He was smiling broadly, and witnesses say he appeared at ease with just a few days to go to his crowning.
The arrivals to the coronation rehearsal started with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Princess Earn arrived next, followed by Queen Camilla, then King Charles, and the royal couple arrived separately.
The Wales family was the last bunch to arrive.
Both Prince William, 40, and Prince George, 9, will play special roles in the crowning ceremony on Saturday.
Soon after King Charles is crowned, the Prince of Wales will kneel before his father and pledge allegiance by saying, “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb.
So help me God.”
Meanwhile, Prince George will be one of King Charles’ four pages of honor at the event.
George’s participation at the coronation will make history, according to the Telegraph, as the second in line to the throne will become the youngest future king to play an official role at a coronation.
Following the coronation service, Prince George is expected to ride in a horse-drawn carriage as part of the coronation procession back to Buckingham Palace with siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The trial run at Westminster Abbey comes after a meticulous run-through by thousands of troops, including a night-time procession overnight.
A vast procession of hundreds of soldiers, the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the Gold State Coach marched down the mall along with comrades on horseback just after 12.20 am local time on Wednesday.
Preparations have also been underway in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace, where a coronation theatre was constructed to mimic the area below the high altar at Westminster Abbey so those taking part can see the layout and rehearse in private.
Over the next few days, other practice runs will happen, as one aide at Buckingham Palace likened it to a school play where different parts were rehearsed by different sections.
In conclusion, the coronation rehearsals are in full swing, and the Wales family joined in the action on Wednesday morning.
Both Prince William and Prince George will play special roles in the crowning ceremony on Saturday, with Prince George making history as the youngest future king to play an official role at a coronation.
