• King Charles III's coronation is on May 6
  • The whole Royal Family will be there, of course
  • But the King has unexpected plans for Prince George

In rather unexpected news, a young royal is expected to play a major role in the coronation of King Charles III. 

The King will be crowned this May, and he and Queen Camilla want his grandson Prince George to take part in the ceremony, reports The Times.

Prince George, 9, will be given a "prominent official role" at the coronation, according to the newspaper.

Expert Hugo Vickers told The Times that the decision to bring in Prince George, the future heir to the throne, "sends all the right symbolism for the future and gives [Prince George] something he will always remember."
