This year’s Mothering Sunday celebrations come about as final plans forKing Charles’coronation, which will take place on May 6, are being made.
The Timesreported this week that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis “are expected to join their parents” and be on “public display” in a horse-drawn carriage as it leaves Westminster Abbey at the end of the crowning ceremony.
While there has been speculation thatPrince Georgewill have a role in the service as second in line to the throne, it hasn’t been officially confirmed whether he,Princess CharlotteorPrince Louiswill be at the historic event.
There is some precedent for Prince George and Princess Charlotte (who will turn 8 just a few days before the coronation) to appear in the procession, as they took part in the funeral of their great-grandmotherQueen Elizabethin September. Prince Louis was not seen in public on the day of the funeral.
