Although the newly-minted monarchs took pride of place at the ceremony, those born to rule in the future managed to steal the spotlight on several occasions. The Prince and Princess of Wales were standouts on the day, with their three children – Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – melting hearts across the globe.
Kate looked positively regal in an ivory Alexander McQueen silk crepe gown, embroidered with the national flora of the United Kingdom. The 41-year-old opted not to wear a tiara for the historic occasion, instead donning a silver bullion and crystal headpiece by British milliner Jess Collett. Charlotte coordinated with her mum in a matching dress and headpiece.
And although George played a key role in the Coronation – as a Page of Honour to King Charles III – it was little Louis who managed to pull focus. The rambunctious youngster, who stole the show at his great-grandmother’s platinum jubilee last year, enthralled coronation-watchers as he made faces and yawned frequently throughout the two-hour long proceedings.
“One of the great things about Louis is that he is hilariously unpredictable,” says a source, “which is great, when he’s got a whole room full of usually stuffy adults in stitches at Balmoral Castle. But having the eyes of the world watching him through all of the Abbey’s cameras, you can understand why his parents were a little nervous!”
