Prince Louis caught off guard in 'beautiful' unseen moment with Charlotte before Coronation

Royal fans have been delighted by a glimpse behind the scenes of the Royal Family’s preparations for King Charles III's Coronation.

While the eyes of the world were on the grand ceremony and processions, the Royals had a videographer document the day from their perspective, offering a previously-unseen glimpse into their lives.

The footage, uploaded to YouTube by the official Prince and Princess of Wales account, shows how the royals got ready for the big day alongside clips of celebrations from around the UK.

In one particularly memorable moment, the royal siblings Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte are shown beaming as they see the carriage that is due to take them to Westminster Abbey.

The pair are also shown running around the Palace and posting for photos during the massively exciting day for both them and their grandfather King Charles.

In one candid moment Prince Louis looks a little sheepish as he realises he’s being filmed but sister Charlotte takes it in her stride, appearing a natural on camera.

Viewers have reacted with awe to the never-before-seen footage, which communicated a more personal side to the grand events of the coronation, the Express reports.

One commenter said: "When Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis entered the room in their Coronation outfits what a beautiful photo, the excitement written over their faces said it all. Some wonderful moments, thank you."

Another added: "It was a very delightful moment to see all the royal family members."

A third commenter on the Prince and Princess of Wales' YouTube channel wrote: "Thank you, Prince and Princess of Wales for this sleek peek behind the scenes. You are a gorgeous family! What a weekend, long live the King!"

A fourth royal fan said: "Absolutely loved the whole weekend and didn't miss a second of it from the US. Loving the little inside sneak peek you've been putting out. Fantastic."

In one memorable scene, William and Kate can be seen dressed up in their regal finery for the Coronation celebrations before leaving home, with children Charlotte and Louis also in their formal attire.

The clip also includes a touching moment from Prince Louis’ first official engagement as part of the continuing Big Help Out celebrations as part of the coronation.

The five-year-old joined his parents the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as his siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte, for the third day of celebrations on Monday, May 8.
