This past weekend, Prince George and the rest of the Royal Family attended the Easter service at Windsor’s St. George’s Chapel.
Since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, when the late monarch was laid to rest next to her husband, Prince Philip, the royal family had not visited the chapel. It was an emotional occasion that marked the first time they had done so.
Both George and his father, Prince William, were dressed in blue suits, and all indications, according to reports, seem to indicate that the young prince is now starting to assume some responsibilities. The nine-year-old will undoubtedly play a very special part at the coronation of his grandfather King Charles in less than a month.
Prince George appeared to adopt a more mature persona during the Easter service, according to a body language expert, but there was something else that caught the attention of many royal fans.
Following the release of fresh images of Prince George, fans expressed their amazement at how much the young prince has grown on social media.
In the Royal Family, it makes sense to assume that Prince George is gradually assuming more and more responsibility. He will one day be king, so the crown is directly related to his future.
George will turn ten years old in July. According to reports, his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, have already shared with him some of their predictions for his future and are starting to get him ready for what lies ahead.
Prince Louis, the youngest of George’s siblings, will make his grand entrance on the royal stage in less than a month when he participates in the procession to and from Buckingham Palace to witness King Charles and Queen Camilla’s official coronation at Westminster Abbey. Louis will join his siblings to commemorate their grandfather’s coronation because he was too young to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Prince George will undoubtedly remember this day forever. It has been established, after much speculation, that he will play a significant and honorable role in the proceedings. The next in line to the throne, the future king, will be a Page of Honor.
That entails carrying the royal robes as they pass through Westminster Abbey together during the ceremony, which is anticipated to last about two and a half hours.
According to the Mirror, the Pages of Honor will dress in a scarlet frock coat with gold trim, a white waistcoat, hose, white gloves, black shoes, a lace cravat, and ruffles for the coronation.
Along with George, there will be seven additional pages, including Freddy Parker Bowles, Gus Lopes, and Louis Lopes, three of Camilla’s grandchildren.
“Their Majesties will each have four pages of honor with them during the Coronation Service on May 6.”. A statement from Buckingham Palace stated that the Pages would participate in the procession through the Nave of Westminster Abbey.
The King’s Pages of Honor will be His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Master Nicholas Barclay, and Master Ralph Tollemache. ”.
The 62-year-old former Lord Great Chamberlain David Cholmondeley is the father of Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13 years old. Finally, Ralph Tollemache, 12, is the son of Charles’s godson, Edward, and Nicholas Barclay is the grandson of Camilla’s friend Sarah Troughton.
The statement continued, “The Queen Consort’s Pages of Honor will be Her Majesty’s grandsons, Master Gus, Master Louis, and Master Freddy Parker Bowles, as well as Her Majesty’s great-nephew, Master Arthur Elliot.
Prince George’s role in the coronation is the subject of William and Kate’s “arguments.”.
Over 2,000 guests received an official Coronation invitation from Buckingham Palace, which was shared. As a nod to King Charles’ love of sustainability, the invitation was reportedly printed on recycled paper.
Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned. The invitation states, “By order of the King, the Earl Marshal is directed to invite [name] to be present at the Abbey Church of Westminster on the sixth day of May 2023.
The young prince’s attendance at his grandfather’s major event has reportedly caused “a bit of an argument,” despite the fact that it has been rumored for months that he would play a significant role at the coronation. ”.
Even Prince William and Kate Middleton, according to one expert, are concerned about the pressure being put on the young royal.
William and Kate are concerned that the pressure may be too much for the young prince at such a young age, according to royal commentator and author Tom Quinn.
Quinn told the Express, “I’ve heard from my contacts that there is a little debate going on as to whether George should play a more formal role. It has been reported that Kate and William are concerned that he won’t be able to handle it. ”.
In addition, a royal source told People that it’s possible for William and Kate to believe they are placing too much pressure on their son.
According to the royal source, they “cognize that he is old enough to understand what’s going on.”. But they are aware that when George returns to school the following week with his classmates, normal life resumes and the events of the weekend are likely to dominate conversations among his classmates. ”.
It’s going to be a really special moment.
Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, Prince George’s siblings, will accompany him in the procession from and to Buckingham Palace, which is only for the more senior members of the Royal Family. The balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace is the same.
Although it’s been reported that Prince William and Princess Kate were concerned about how George’s participation in the coronation might affect him negatively, they seem to have changed their minds recently. This, according to speculation, happened probably after their son expressed “deep interest” in the coronation of his grandfather.
A Kensington Palace representative said, “We’re all very excited about Prince George’s role in the coronation, it will be an incredibly special moment.”.
While this is happening, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis won’t play any special roles in the Coronation. The obvious answer is probably that they are too young, even though the siblings will be present to witness their grandfather being symbolically crowned king.
Prince George has already participated in a number of significant royal outings. In addition to attending the customary Easter Sunday service the year before, he attended the Sandringham church service on Christmas Day with his family. However, the young prince seemed to act very differently at the same event this past weekend compared to his Easter performance from the year before.
George’s natural tendency to assume more responsibility as he gets older was evident as the family departed St. Georges Chapel on Sunday at the Windsor grounds.
When walking in front of his family at the Easter Sunday Service, Prince George took the lead this year instead of letting his parents lead the way as they did the year before. The special day brought together the royals, and this time was especially emotional.
At the Easter Sunday service, Prince George assumes a “grown-up” role.
At St. Mary’s, Queen Elizabeth II was buried. George’s Chapel final year. The first significant royal occasion to occur at the 15th-century chapel following Her Majesty’s passing was the Royal Family’s return to the Windsor grounds.
Together with King Charles and Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children attended the Easter Service.
Princess Charlotte was dressed in a blue polka-dot dress, while Kate was dressed in a blue coat. Prince William and Prince George wore navy suits, and Prince Louis, who was in attendance for the first time, wore a suit jacket and light blue shorts.
The service was also attended by a number of other Royal Family members. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their son James, the Earl of Wessex, were present when Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank entered the chapel holding hands.
Princess Beatrice and her spouse, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, as well as Zara and Mike Tindall and their two daughters, Mia and Lena, also attended the service.
Prince George’s behavior was very different at this year’s Easter Sunday Service. Body language expert Judi James observed a new “grown-up” dynamic in the nine-year-old prince. As opposed to the previous year when he steadily stood between his parents, this year he walked ahead and led his family.
The Daily Mail quoted Judi James as saying, “At this Easter service there was a status step-up from George, who walked ahead to lead his family into the service, showing a newly grown-up dynamic from the five Wales’s when it comes to royal outing.
George used to be the one walking in with his father and holding his hand, but this time Charlotte was walking in with William and Kate was holding Louis’s hand. ”.
When leaving St. George’s Chapel, Prince George took the helm.
She continued, “Even this family hierarchy had its own upgrade, though, as Charlotte turned to look at her younger brother with what appeared to be a small checking gesture and then a beam of pride at his impeccable behavior. As they left the service, Charlotte was seen imitating her mother by following Kate and giving the crowds a timid wave. This gesture revealed Charlotte’s role model. ”.
Louis was a “very different boy” from the prince fans saw at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year, James added. The pictures of the young prince pointing at his mother, Kate, from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, will remain in people’s minds for a very long time.
Yet as he walked beside his mother at the Easter Sunday service, body language expert James stated that Louis looked “serious and confident. ”.
“Kate grinned with pride as she regarded Louis, then turned to face the audience and grinned again, as if to express her admiration for Louis’ mature behavior. Even as he entered the chapel, Louis seemed to be looking down to straighten his tie,” James said.
“George was the first member of their group to leave after the service and he shook hands with everyone without being asked. ”.
In addition to the fact that Prince George appeared to have assumed a significantly more significant and mature role for the Easter Sunday service, royal fans reacted to the new images of him.
Prince George is growing so quickly, according to new pictures, which has royal fans in awe.
They couldn’t help but notice Prince Geoge’s increasing height and how confident he appears to be.
“George has grown so tall; all three have. But, as one commenter wrote, “I can’t believe he’s going to be ten!!” according to the Mirror.
Another person added, “There is definitely a similarity to Prince George! Diana’s brother and in particular her father! Prince George is a tall, solid looking lad which is what the Spencers were.”.
Another fan commented, “Prince George is going to be a tall man!”. A fourth person commented, “Prince George is getting SO tall! He’s nine years old!”.
Considering his parents’ respective heights of 6 feet 3 inches for William and 5 feet 9 inches for Kate, it appears that Prince George is developing quickly.
We may even witness a new royal record by the time George reaches adulthood. On paper, King Edward IV, who is 6 feet 4 1/2 inches tall, is the tallest monarch to rule England.
