Prince and Princess of Wales release behind-the-scenes Coronation film

Kensington Palace has released a stunning behind-the-scenes video of the Prince and Princess of Wales at the King’s Coronation last week.

William and Kate made headlines with their eye-catching outfits at the historic crowning of King Charles III.

Their children Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, also stole the show at the ceremony watched by millions around the world.

A video released by the Wales’s official YouTube account provides a rare glimpse into their family life during the packed Coronation weekend.

The film captures the jubilant atmosphere of the celebration as it shows William and Kate meeting crowds of royal fans on the Mall outside Buckingham Palace the evening before the Coronation.

It then shows William and Kate getting ready at Kensington Palace along with Charlotte and Louis the following morning.

The royal couple can be seen wearing their stunning Royal Victorian Order Mantles, while Kate wowed with her white Alexander McQueen dress.

The family then leave the palace to travel to Westminster Abbey in a gold carriage, alongside thousands of armed forces personnel and Buckingham Palace household members.

William, Kate and their children are then spotted standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony along with other members of the Royal Family after the Coronation ceremony.

The royals and the tens of thousands of people gathered outside the palace were then treated to a flyover by the Red Arrows despite the poor weather.

The following day, the family can be seen in the film pitching in for the Big Help Out – a volunteering event held across the country to celebrate the King’s years of public service.

Prince Louis can be seen helping out with a digger while his brother George has a go at archery before the family join in a group photo with the other volunteers.

The video ends with clips taken at the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle which starred Katy Perry, Lionel Ritchie and Take That before William makes a speech in honour of the King.

He told his father: ‘We are all so proud of you.’

The wholesome footage marks a contrast with the Netflix series released by Harry and Meghan which sparked controversy last year.

The couple made a series of bombshell claims against the royals, including Harry saying that his family had not understood that Meghan needed protection against racist attacks.

Meghan also described how she was shocked by the formality of the Royal Family and described how she bowed when she met the Queen.

The documentary sparked a war of words between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals.

Although the programme claimed that members of the royal family declined to comment, Kensington Palace said they had only received an email from a third party which they were unable to verify with Harry and Meghan’s company Archewell.

Harry travelled to the Coronation without Meghan from their home in Montecito, California last week.

The prince spent only 28 hours in the UK and is understood to have had only limited contact with his family members during his time there.

Following the end of the service at Westminster Abbey, Harry travelled straight to Heathrow where he boarded a flight back to the US for his son Archie’s birthday.

The Prince and Princess of Wales commissioned London-based advertising filmmaker Will Warr to make the new behind-the-scenes film at the Coronation.

He has worked with brands including Uber Eats, Red Bull, Miele, Bloom & Wild, Diageo, ergobaby, Puma and Holland Cooper and has worked with the Waleses before.

The video received an overwhelmingly positive response from Twitter users, with many thrilled to see the royals up close.

Many also complimented Mr Warr’s work on the film, and others he has made for the Walses.

One royal fan said: ‘Behind the scenes!! Love the light, love the camera angle, love the story it tells. Brilliant edits and music. Absolutely exquisitely done!’

Another said: ‘Never change this new style please!!!! It’s an amazing blend of public and private, highlighting also the people who interacted with.’

A user complimented the filmmaker’s style, saying: ‘Will Warr does an absolutely superb job on his videos.

‘He’s done videos for William and Catherine. Love the style and music choice.’

One viewer said: ‘This is absolutely amazing!!’

While another said: ‘Beautiful video, LOVE the behind the scene footage.’
