Gus' role in the coronation
Gus is playing the role of the page of honour (along with Prince George, his twin brother Louis, and his cousin Freddy) for the coronation of his grandfather in London. He will be accompanying his grandmother as she takes on the title of Queen Consort. This is not the first time Queen Camilla's grandchildren played a role in a royal event.
