The Queen Consort's teenage grandchildren will play a central role in King Charles's coronation alongside Prince George as heir to the throne, sources say.

Camilla has reportedly indicated she wants her five grandchildren; Lola and Eliza, both 15, Freddy, 13, and twins Louis and Gus, also 13, to hold the canopy over her as she is anointed with holy oil on May 6. 

In the past, duchesses have performed the role, which is considered one of the most sacred parts of the ceremony.
