King Charles breaks centuries-old royal tradition for Prince George

The role of Page of Honour is usually granted to teenage sons of members of the nobility and gentry, and especially of senior Royal Household members to carry the long and heavy robes.

Another insider revealed that Charles is “very keen to show those in the line of succession, his natural heirs, at the centre of his Coronation.” Hence, despite George, being only nine was honoured with the role, given his “very mature and deep understanding” of his future role.

For the historic royal event, George’s siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were also in attendance. While George was given a special role at the ceremony, Charlotte and Louis were seated with their parents.
