The celebration of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s pages of honor took place after their coronation. Reports revealed an exciting surprise for the coronation party just moments before the flypast. It was disclosed by Lady Fiona Lansdowne, one of Camilla’s Ladies in Attendance, that the party was informed of their balcony appearance at the last minute.
Lady Lansdowne shared in an interview with the BBC that the news came as a delightful surprise. She explained that they were only informed about going on the balcony one minute prior to the event. This unexpected announcement was made because the newly crowned monarchs realized the crucial role of the pageboys in keeping the Queen’s train from dragging on the carpet. To avoid any mishaps, they needed the boys present. The sudden revelation created an extraordinary moment for everyone involved.
The atmosphere was electric as the crowd, undeterred by the rain, displayed remarkable enthusiasm. Thousands of people flocked to Buckingham Palace to catch a glimpse of the royals on the balcony. Meanwhile, a staggering viewership of over 11.9 million people tuned in from the comfort of their homes, captivated by the coronation ceremony.
The significance of the event was not lost on Prince George, who holds the second position in line to the throne. His role as a Page of Honor during the coronation made it an especially meaningful experience for the young prince. Viewers couldn’t help but express their astonishment at how much he has grown. Social media buzzed with comments praising Prince George’s maturity and remarking on his transformation.
While King Charles understandably took the spotlight on his special day, it was Prince Louis, known for his mischievous nature, who managed to steal the show. During last year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, he made headlines with his playful antics, including sticking his tongue out at his mother, Kate. Despite his well-behaved demeanor throughout the lengthy and solemn coronation ceremony, he couldn’t resist a few yawns. However, it was on the Buckingham Palace balcony that Prince Louis truly let his cheeky side shine once again. Engaging in animated conversations with his elder brother George and sister Charlotte, he captivated onlookers with his playful waving and pointing gestures.
The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla was an event filled with surprises, enthusiasm, and endearing moments involving the young members of the royal family. It will undoubtedly be a cherished memory for all those who witnessed it, both in person and through the screens.
