In Pics: King Charles' Grandchildren Steal Show At Coronation Ceremony
King Charles III was on Saturday crowned monarch of the United Kingdom.

It is King Charles III's big day today, but the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton managed to steal the show on Saturday at the Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. 

Prince Louis, who recently turned 5, arrived with his parents and his elder sister, Princess Charlotte, as they made their way to King Charles and Queen Camilla's Coronation ceremony.

Prince George, 9, on the other hand, was given the special task of being one of his grandfather's Pages of Honour, having held onto his red robe as the monarch walked into the church.

During the event, Prince Louis sat between his mother, Kate Middleton, and his sister. One image showed the little one yawning during the ceremony, and pointing out something he apparently found interesting to his sister.

During the ceremony, Rishi Sunak read from the biblical book of Colossians at the coronation in keeping with the tradition of British Prime Ministers giving readings at state occasions.

As one of the newer elements, the 74-year-old monarch also prayed aloud using words specially written for the occasion that reflect the"duty and privilege of the Sovereign to serve all communities".
