Prince George, known for stealing the show at previous royal weddings, is set to reprise his role as a pageboy at his grandfather Hugh Grosvenor’s upcoming wedding to Olivia Henson in June.
A source close to the Wales family confirmed this news, highlighting George’s excitement to be part of yet another significant royal event.
The young prince will join a tradition of children serving as attendants in royal weddings, showcasing his growing presence within the royal family.
The royal family dynamics are also making headlines, with Prince William reportedly preparing to take on the role of an usher at the wedding of his friend, the Duke of Westminster.
However, concerns have arisen over Prince Harry‘s potential absence from the event due to fears that his presence could create family tension, potentially overshadowing the celebrations for the bride and groom.
While Prince William gears up for his usher duties, Princess Catherine is not expected to attend the event as she continues her cancer treatment.
Nonetheless, there is speculation that the couple might accept the Duke of Westminster’s previous invitation for Prince George to participate as one of the pageboys at the lavish wedding.
Expressing their joy, a statement from the family emphasized their pride in George’s involvement and his dedication to practicing diligently for the ceremony.
The close bond between the Duke of Westminster and the Wales family is evident, with the Duke having attended Prince George’s christening as one of his godparents.
This connection adds a personal touch to George’s role as a pageboy and hints at Princess Charlotte potentially joining as one of the bridesmaids.
The official announcement further confirms Prince William’s role as a member of the groom’s party, likely serving as an usher at Chester Cathedral.
Speculations about the wedding arrangements have been rife, with friends revealing that Prince William was initially asked to be an usher at the upcoming wedding in December.
Reports suggest that he was even considered for the role of best man, a decision that reportedly led to Prince Harry declining an invitation to the event.
Sources close to the palace and the groom’s party have emphasized the confidentiality surrounding the wedding details, particularly after news of Harry’s absence from the guest list surfaced.
In a surprising turn of events, the King and Queen will not be attending the highly anticipated society wedding, citing past grievances related to a previous wedding at the same venue.
The tensions stem from the 2004 wedding of the Hughes sisters, where seating arrangements caused discomfort among the royal guests.
Camilla Park Bowles, now Duchess of Cornwall, faced protocol issues that led to her being seated separately from Prince Charles, sparking further controversies within the royal circle.
The intricate web of relationships and protocols within the royal family continues to captivate public interest, with speculations swirling around Prince Harry’s decision to decline the wedding invitation.
Insights from friends of the royal family suggest that Harry’s reluctance to attend may be linked to his brother William being given a prominent role at the event, hinting at underlying tensions or expectations within the royal hierarchy.
As the wedding date approaches, the anticipation and intrigue surrounding the event only continue to grow, promising a blend of tradition, drama, and familial dynamics on the grand stage.
