King Charles’ coronation: Prince Louis may not attend the royal …
The youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly might not make an appearance at King Charles III's upcoming coronation.
Prince Louis' presence is still up in the air as a result of his behaviour at past royal events, a palace insider revealed to Page Six.
The royal source justified the claim: "He's only 4, after all".
However, Louis' older sister, Princess Charlotte, has been confirmed on the guest list, according to the source.

"Whatever happens, Harry and Meghan will always be the ones in the headlines," a source told Page Six in March. "They do hold the upper hand."
