The uniforms were originally made by Ede and Ravenscroft during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and have been re-tailored for the Coronation. The Prince is wearing his scarlet Page of Honour tunic, decorated with gold lace trim and blue velvet cuffs. His smile betrays a hint of nervousness, perhaps unable to escape the unspoken significance of this particular shot and all that it conveys. The young Prince George, by comparison, is resting one gloved hand on the throne and is leaning very slightly in towards his grandfather.
Prince William is wearing the red ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards underneath his navy blue Order of the Garter mantle.Īlthough he is positioned behind his father, his height gives him an air of authority, while his upright stature also suggests independence. The King is flanked by his elder son to his right and his elder grandson to his left. His throne chair is one of a pair made in 1902 for the future King George V and Queen Mary for use at the coronation of Edward VII.
