Prince George, the second-in-line to the throne, would « break with tradition » if he was to play an active role during the Coronation of King Charles, according to Dr George Gross, visiting research fellow in Theology at King’s College London.
The expert noted it is not at all unusual to see young children attending Coronation, and cited the current King, his mother and his grandfather as examples.
However, it would be new to see such a young royal perform any active role during the event, set to be watched by millions of people around the world.
Dr Gross told Express.co.uk: « It’s not new the concept of children being present at the service, when the current monarch was Prince Charles as opposed to King Charles, he was there and so too was the late Queen, and indeed her father, they were all present at coronations as young people. So it’s not unusual.
« There’s no formal role for them, as typically family members and children would be in the royal box. »
