Prince George to play special role at his grandfather King Charles III's coronation

Prince George will play a public role at the upcoming coronation of his grandfather, King Charles III.

George, 9, the oldest child of Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, will serve as one of four Pages of Honor for Charles at the coronation, which will be held May 6 at Westminster Abbey.

George, second in line to the British throne, and his fellow pages are expected to process behind Charles in the ceremony and hold his ceremonial robes.

"We're all very excited about Prince George's role in the Coronation," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News. "It will be an incredibly special moment."

The palace has not yet confirmed whether George's younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will attend the coronation.

Joining George as a page in the ceremony will be Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Master Nicholas Barclay and Master Ralph Tollemache, according to Buckingham Palace. The three pages joining George are sons of Charles' close friends.

Charles's wife, Camilla, the Queen Consort, will have three Pages of Honor in the ceremony.

It is not yet known whether Camilla's children will play roles in the coronation, but they are expected to attend.
