Wales Children in Coronation procession

[AskAwayAgain]

George, Charlotte and Louis will be in the Coronation Procession. A shame Archie was not invited to join them.

So the news articles that Charlotte and Louis will be part of it are wrong then?

How do we know who has been invited. ? Anyway you opt out of royal family it means just that. The children don’t know each other. The boys are estrange so the kids are too. Sad but that is family life. I personally would rather Harry and Megan stay abroad ( as that is clearly what they want ) as the coronation is not about them but Charles.

The monarchy doesn't represent what they stand for based on their own words. They don't get on with any senior royals in their own words. They think its a cage in their own words. They think it's racist in their own words.
The only reason they'd come then is to make money. Nobody wants them profiting because they now know don't have anything else to make money from.

I've been wondering the same.

And yet you were all posting just a month ago that Archie was not invited, just like Charlotte and Louis. Confidently stating that only George as the Heir will be involved in the Coronation.

Not with California beoing 8 hours behind the UK they won't - unless perhaps Archie has his "real" bortghday party three days before?

Well maybe Harry won't come anyway so none of them will be there.

Archie doesn’t know his grandfather or any of his relatives. He isn’t used to the ‘Institution’ either. I imagine he would be terrified . Williams children are heirs to the throne and used to appearing in public. Archie isn’t.

How do you know that? Children are individuals and some would love this, some would hate it.
And Charlotte and Louis have never done anything like this. Sitting with your parents on a balcony or a crowd at football is a very different experience.

I don’t think a coronation is a time to test out whether a young child could cope with the whole experience. He’s not eligible to be there anyway.

Anyone is eligible to be there who the King decides on.
They have made major changes so Camilla's grandchildren have a formal role.

i don't see the need for any of the Wales children to be there, they are primary age and would best left at home running around. Harrys kids are even young and not relevant to the coronation. surely a quick balcony appearance by the Wales kids will be enough for the public who have to see them.

I agree it would be better for none of the children to be there.

Charlotte was at the Queen’s funeral. Louis is used to the fact that there is pomp
and circumstance surrounding his family, and he has taken part in the jubilee concert, and balcony appearances. I would suggest that the coronation would not be the time to see if Archie can cope with a state occasion, with lots of people he doesn’t know and lots of noise from trumpet fanfares and the like.

There were pictures ahead of the Jubilee showing the Wales children practicing in carriages at Windsor.

Ridiculous nonsense all this procession and other medieval shite surrounding what should be just the signing of a bit of paper and a slather of olive oil on their heads.

I feel for the kids, it's not like going to a friend's birthday party.

Total hyped up drivel and so unnecessary too.

AAAAND I feel better after that rant!

I think the dichotomy here is that we have an unwritten constitution where we have a Head of State who ( let's face it has pretty much no power - ( spider letters aside ) but is part of a Royal Family - It's unusual. So as a father I can understand Charles wants Harry there , but the coronation is not a family event.

Whether you agree with the monarchy or not ( and many don't - I get that ) as non working Royals I think it is right that Harry and his family are invited but I think it also that it is right they are given a very very minor role & kept out of the picture as far as possible . I would trust them as far as I could throw them.

I think KC has done ( if true ) rightly to invite them - personally I would like them to politely decline given all the shit they have thrown about but if they do come I think rather than people booing them , they should be kept out of the limelight and after the ceremony they can go back to Frogmore Cottage and have a nice birthday party for Archie.

I am of the opinion that they are clinging on to Royal connections to make their money but I think that thing is getting a bit boring now so If they want to come - turn up be discreet and polite & then head off home.

This is just my opinion ( others are available )

Well quite. When would Archie have the opportunity to do this?

There are so many unknowns, though. They might have asked about Archie joining and his parents said no. He hasn't been raised in the professional royal environment so he might struggle or feel uncomfortable, or be prone to misbehaving, or a hundred other things - by comparison he is a "normal" kid who will have had zero experience walking in any kind of parades. The Wales kids have done carriage processions, balconies and greeting the public. Plus they are the children of the next heir to the throne. Archie isn't. IMO it's pointless to speculate because there is nothing concrete to suggest Archie/Lili have or haven't been included in the ceremony in any way.

The Royal Family have had over 300 laws changed. They have plenty of power.

The Palace has said Harry and Meghan were invited, not the children.

Louis seems like a normal child who did not cope with the state occasion at all. From putting his hands over his ears to acting up. Normal behaviour but showing clearly he was not coping.

Will Camilla's grand children play any part?

The Palace has said Harry and Meghan were invited, not the children.

Have they? I didn't know that BP had commented on it, I thought it was H and M that had commented.

Why do they want their kids to take part in the coronation for the next evil monarch?

Why so many comments like this? You’re all responding to media gossip, not their wishes. Neither Harry or his wife ever described the former monarch or the present one as evil. Harry called one person evil in his book: Rupert Murdoch. He still believes in the monarchy, his focus was the relationship between the institution and media and how that impacted them as a family. As previous posters have said, I don’t think such young children would be suddenly thrust into this. They’ve kept their faces mostly away from cameras so far.
