Prince George, the nine-year-old grandson of the new king, has been given a significant position during King Charles’ coronation.

However, there seems to be no role assigned for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet yet.

Despite being part of the royal family, it is believed that three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet have not even been invited due to their young age.

As Charles ascends to the throne, Archie and Lilibet, who currently reside in California with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have officially taken on their titles as prince and princess.

However, they have apparently not been requested to attend the coronation ceremony.

The inclusion of the children on this important day has been a crucial point of discussion for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are still contemplating whether or not they will make an appearance.

As of now, Archie and Lilibet will not play a role in the actual ceremony.

However, their cousins and Queen Camilla’s grandchildren will have integral parts.

Prince George will have a starring role at the age of nine, while Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, who will turn five next month, will join their grandfather and the Queen as they enter Westminster Abbey.

Prince George has been granted a central role as a page of honor for the king’s coronation.

He will don the robes as he enters and exits the abbey.

Both King Charles and George’s father, Prince William, were keen on the young prince having a significant role on May 6th, ensuring he will be front and center.

Alongside seven other boys named pages of honor, George will accompany their majesties throughout the service.

Typically, this honor is bestowed upon teenage sons of nobility, specifically those from senior royal families or close family friends.

However, despite his age of only nine, George was chosen for the task due to his deep interest in the ceremony.

The other pages of honor for the king will be Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, Nicholas Barclay, 13, and Ralph Ptolemaic, 12.

For the queen consort, her grandsons Gus and Louis Lopez, along with Freddie Parker Bowles and great-nephew Arthur Elliot, will serve as pages of honor.

Palace insiders have revealed that the inclusion of Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, has been a point of discussion.

However, their absence from the ceremony is not unexpected, as small children rarely attend royal events of this magnitude due to restlessness and tantrums.

During the queen’s coronation, Prince Charles made history as the first child to witness his mother’s crowning.

However, Princess Anne, at the age of two, was deemed too young to attend.

According to royal historian and author Dr. Tessa Dunlop, it would be unusual if Archie has not been invited to the event.

She stated, “If you look at the pictures of the 1953 coronation, who was very prominent, albeit briefly?

Prince Charles.

He was four.

Archie, on his fourth birthday, is not too young to attend the coronation.

And if you want Meghan there, you need to invite her son.”

In recent news, Harry and Meghan’s children have been officially recognized as Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex on the Royal Family website.

The couple referred to it as their birthright, and this follows the announcement of their one-year-old daughter’s christening, where she was addressed by her royal title.

Mirror readers were asked their opinion on whether Harry and Meghan are right to use Archie and Lilibet’s titles, with 88% responding no, while 10% supported their decision, stating that it is their birthright.
