The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are not currently factored into the plans.
It has been revealed that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will all take part in the King’s Coronation procession from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace.
According to reports, the three children, who will be nine, eight, and five years old by the time of the May 6 ceremony, are all included in the Coronation rehearsal plans.
They will travel in a carriage behind the King and Queen in the Gold State Coach, alongside their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, are not currently included in the plans, according to The Telegraph.
According to The Times, the couple has not yet confirmed their attendance, but if they do come, they are not expected to take part in the post-Coronation procession, which will be reserved for working members of the Royal family.
Kensington Palace has not yet confirmed the attendance of any of their children and, given their young ages, is unlikely to do so until the day.
The Prince and Princess are still “debating” whether to bring the lively Prince Louis, who turns five next month, but are expected to do so.
As a future king, Prince George is expected to play an official role in the ceremony. During the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June, all three children rode together in a carriage in the Trooping the Colour procession.
It follows the announcement that the Queen Consort’s grandchildren will have an official role in the ceremony.
Tom Parker Bowles, her son, has two children aged 15 and 13, and Laura Lopes, her daughter, has a 15-year-old daughter and twins aged 13.
The boys are thought to be pages.
The Telegraph reported earlier this month that the procession on May 6 will be significantly smaller than Queen Elizabeth II’s in 1953, taking a more direct route with far fewer participants.
His Majesty will return to the palace via Whitehall, Admiralty Arch, and The Mall, rather than his late mother’s five-mile journey along Regent Street, Oxford Street, and Park Lane.
The procession itself will be significantly reduced, with the Household Cavalry providing only one mounted escort. The Life Guards, the British Army’s most senior regiment, will provide this Sovereign’s Escort, resplendent in scarlet tunics and metal helmets with white plumes.
