George, second in line to the throne after his father, has been tipped for official duties as his grandfather King Charles is crowned.

William and Kate news: Coronation ‘plans’ for George

MailOnline quotes a source as telling the Telegraph that William and Kate are pondering what it best for George.

And that’s because of worries over the “attention he will inevitably get at an event covered by media across the world”.

Camilla’s plans for coronation?

Additionally, the Times recently reported plans will be made with George’s parents over his involvement in coming weeks.

Furthermore, the broadsheet claimed Queen Consort Camilla wishes for her grandchildren to figure.

It is reported she hopes for the teenagers to hold the canopy over her as she is anointed with holy oil.

A royal insider reportedly said: “It sends a nice signal and is quite a bold move.

“It is another example of King Charles and Queen Consort being unafraid to shake things up a bit to reflect the realities of modern life, of which a blended family is a central element.”

Dr Tessa Dunlop said on the Palace Confidential podcast: “[They] want to keep it focused on that line of succession.

“So we’re going to see a lot of camera shots of Charles, of William, of George.”
