Exclusive: Princess Catherine’s Heartwarming Gesture Towards King Charles
A heartwarming moment captured in the upcoming BBC documentary, “Charles III, The Coronation Year,” showcases a touching interaction between Princess Catherine and King Charles during his coronation.
In a previously unseen clip, Princess Catherine is seen kissing and curtsying for King Charles as they return to Buckingham Palace, greeted by members of the royal household and family.
The monarch, accompanied by Queen Camilla, received cheers from staff standing on the palace stairs upon their return.
As Prince William and Catherine entered, King Charles was congratulated by fellow royals, including his brother Prince Edward and Princess Catherine, who affectionately kissed the king on the cheek before offering a respectful curtsy.
The behind-the-scenes footage also features Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William and Catherine, making an adorable appearance alongside his grandfather, King Charles, during the coronation preparations.
During a sweet moment captured on camera, King Charles shares a joke with his grandson Prince George as they get ready for the grand event.
The young prince, dressed in a red uniform, is seen alongside his grandfather and Queen Camilla in the Diamond Jubilee State coach en route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
King Charles playfully raises his arm in his robe, exclaiming, “I can fly,” while engaging with the young page boys, including Prince George, asking them to organize themselves for the occasion.
Princess Anne provides insight into King Charles' emotions during the event, likening his relief post-performance to that of an actor coming off stage.
The newly released footage also captures Queen Camilla in her stunning white-and-gold embroidered Bruce Oldfield gown and robes, displaying a hint of nervousness as she prepares to embark on the carriage journey, accompanied by her four pages.
Notably, nine-year-old Prince George played a significant role as the youngest page boy at the ceremony, a role typically reserved for older boys.
His deep interest and understanding of the occasion led to his historic participation, making him the youngest future king to have an official role in a coronation.
King Charles, known for his loving nature as a grandfather, gifted Prince George a lavish Victorian-style shepherd's hut on his first birthday, a special addition to the Gloucestershire Estate Highgrove.
In a display of familial tradition, King Charles and Queen Camilla extended birthday wishes to Prince George as he turned ten, sharing a new photo of the young royal on social media.
The official Instagram and Twitter accounts of the royal family reposted the image, showcasing Prince George looking more mature than ever, smiling for the camera in a button-down shirt and trousers.
As the royal family continues to honor traditions, Prince William and Catherine released a new portrait of their eldest son on the eve of his birthday, maintaining a legacy of celebration within the royal household.
