While the world had its eyes on King Charles III during his coronation ceremony today, we had our eyes turned toward some of the youngest members of the royal family. Prince George, 9 Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 were all in attendance, and they looked even more adorable, regal, and grown-up than we expected.
Prince George was given the role of Page of Honor for the big day, joining the procession through the Nave of Westminster Abbey and attending to his grandfather during the ceremony.
Meanwhile, his younger siblings watched from pews. As per usual, Princess Charlotte coordinated perfectly with her mom Kate Middleton, once again proving they’ve perfected “twinning chic.” The two each wore bejeweled headbands. Prince Louis opted to match with his big brother, wearing the same sweet face. After the ceremony, the children rode back to Buckingham Palace with Kate Middleton and dad, Prince William.
Now we are dying to know what Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are wearing on the big day back at their California home. The kids stayed back with mom Meghan Markle to celebrate Prince Archie’s birthday while Prince Harry attended his father’s coronation. We have no doubt they are dressed appropriately for the “laid-back party,” but we still wonder what they are wearing on this historic day.

Look At That
![TOPSHOT - Britain's Prince George of Wales (L) points next to another page, as they stand on the Buckingham Palace in London, following the coronations of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, on May 6, 2023. - The set-piece coronation is the first in Britain in 70 years, and only the second in history to be televised. Charles will be the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned at the central London church since King William I in 1066. Outside the UK, he is also king of 14 other Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Camilla, his second wife, will be crowned queen alongside him, and be known as Queen Camilla after the ceremony.
