Prince George will have his own coronation one day, and he is slated to have a "significant" role in the coronation of his grandfather, King Charles III, as reported by the royal editor of The Sunday Times, Roya Nikkhah.
The move would be a break from royal tradition, in which the young heirs typically watch the ceremony, but play no part in it. King Charles played no role in the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and likewise the Queen only watched during the coronation of her father, King George VI.

Further details about the coronation continue to be announced as the big day draws closer, including how Charles will pay a poignant tribute to his late father, Prince Philip.
The ceremony will feature various new compositions to mark the occasion, and Charles personally requested the inclusion of Greek Orthodox music, which will be performed by the Byzantine Chant Ensemble.
Philip, who sadly passed away in 2021, was born in Greece as part of the Greek and Danish royal families. He was raised as a Greek Orthodox Christian and was baptised at St George's Church in Corfu.

These will also be the first garden party with a sitting monarch since 2019, with parties having to been cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, while the late Queen missed the 2022 parties due to her health.
Garden parties are typically held during the warmer months in both the ground of Buckingham Palace or Holyroodhouse in Scotland.
