William and Kate post behind scenes coronation video delighting fans

William and Kate have delighted royal fans by sharing a behind the scenes look at the coronation weekend. Prince William and Kate Middleton posted short version of the video on Twitter, linking to a much longer version on Youtube.

They said: “The Coronation Weekend. A film by Will Warr”. In the film entitled ‘The Coronation Weekend - Behind the scenes with The Prince and Princess of Wales’ we see a little snippet of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis looking from the inside of Buckingham Palace out of the window at the crowds, looking nervous before going onto the balcony.

Prince William’s voice then says: “King, Country and Commonwealth,” then ‘God save the King’. The documentary style shows people arriving in London for the glittering event and also the walkabout when William, Kate and Charles surprised people outside Buckingham Palace.

We see William and Kate meeting dignitaries at a Buckingham Palace reception before more footage of preparations. The bits royal watchers will be really interested in are those segments showing Wills, Kate and the children behind the scenes as they get ready for the coronation, dressed in their finery. A later segment shows Louis and Charlotte going out of Kensington Palace - with Charlotte unable to contain her joy and excitement.

It also shows the royal children at events after the coronation - including when rince Louis got stuck into a spot of painting, digging and decorating when he volunteered with his family including big brother and sister – Prince George and Princess Charlotte – helping renovate a Scout hut site in Slough, Berkshire, as part of the Big Help Out, under the watchful eye of their parents the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Royal fans were delighted at the film. Dhelia Squires commented: “The whole coronation was a stunning and breathtaking event from start to finish.The people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to produce the event need a special recognition also.”

Tassie Girl 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.”

AJ added: “Oh, I absolutely love this! As an Australian and part of the Commonwealth, the coronation seemed so remote to our country. I loved this little sneak peek on what the day was like for you all! So different to the media coverage I saw on the day, and love the vlogging style of it.”

Simone DUTCH said: “Warmest thank you, this was absolutely amazing to watch and has brightened up my day today. From start to finish the King’s Coronation was just so beautiful and moving and just so very special. The whole Royal Family should feel so proud, everyone played their role so spectacularly. God Save the King.”
