Charles and Camilla sweetly surprised Prince George before balcony appearance
ok.co.ukKing Charles and Queen Camilla surprised Prince George and other members of the Coronation party moments before their balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace, according to Camilla's friend Lady Fiona Lansdowne.
She revealed the newly-crowned royals told the Queen's Ladies in attendance, which included Fiona, and the Page Boys, one of which was Prince George, that they were going to be on the balcony "one minute" beforehand as a sweet surprise. "It was a little gift I think," Lady Lansdowne, 68, said during an interview on the BBC. "But also I think they slightly realised that without the boys holding the trains, the Queen would've been dragged back because they don't slide very easily on a carpet. "So the boys needed to be there, and then we were just told we were all getting on the balcony, and that was an extraordinary thing." She continued: "Never, ever did I think I would be on a balcony.
I don't believe that I was there now really. "You could feel the enthusiasm in the crowd, just all those wonderful people out in the rain - it was the most extraordinary experience. "This grand swell of singing, chanting, shouting and clapping - it was absolutely extraordinary.
And for those little boys, something they will never forget." The historic occasion was a success despite the clouds and rain.
