While all eyes turn to King Charles III for his historic coronation, his grandchildren may end up being the ones who steal the show.
Months after the death of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles III's coronation got underway in London on Saturday morning, beginning with the royal procession from Buckingham Palace followed by a service at Westminster Abbey, the church where every coronation has been held since 1066.
Amid all the pomp and circumstance that comes with a centuries-old ceremony such as the coronation, photographers have already captured a few memorable moments of some of the youngest members of the Royal Family.
There are shots of now nine-year-old Prince George, the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, standing at attention at Westminster Abbey — including one of the Page of Honour with his tongue sticking out — and a tender moment between his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, holding hands inside the church.
There's this picture from earlier of Princess Charlotte, wearing a white crown that matches her mother's, giving this look while travelling in the state car.
And as Prince Louis showed, the prospect of sitting through a two-hour liturgy can challenge even the best of us.
The Princess of Wales wore an ivory wool crepe dress by her wedding dress designer Alexander McQueen, the same British fashion house that made the dress and cape worn by Princess Charlotte.
