The invitation list: From heads of state to refugees, who's going to the King's coronation?

  • last year
On Saturday more than 2,000 people will fill Westminster Abbey for the King and Queen Consort's coronation.

Members of the Royal Family, heads of state and foreign royals will sit alongside celebrities and charity workers to watch the couple being crowned.

As well as the 2,200 guests inside, a further 400 from charities chosen by the royal couple and the government will be able to watch the service from inside St Margaret's Church at Westminster Abbey.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed 203 countries will be represented by "approximately 100 heads of state" and other dignitaries.

Here's who has been confirmed so far:

Members of the Royal Family

The Prince and Princess of Wales will be there with their children Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, five. George and Charlotte have been given the role of 'page of honour'.
Charles's siblings Princess Anne - the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward - the Duke of Edinburgh, will both attend. Prince Andrew, who stepped down from public duties over his association with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is understood to be going, but will not play a major role after being stripped of his military titles.

His children Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, 10th and 11th in line to the throne, are likely to be there with Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall and her husband Mike.
