Louis, George, and Charlotte shine on volunteering day.

Princes Louis and George, along with Princess Charlotte, stole the show on the final day of coronation celebrations as they joined millions of volunteers across the nation.

Today is the final day of coronation festivities, and the public is invited to participate in the Big Help Out – a volunteering event designed to commemorate the coronation of the King.

Princes Louis and George used wheelbarrows to help renovate a Slough scout cabin.

Prince William was observed operating an excavator, while Princess Charlotte oversaw operations.

All the children played archery, and later made s’mores with the explorers around the fire pit.

The King and Queen will not attend today’s Royal Family festivities.

Buckingham Palace stated, “While the King and Queen are fully supportive of the Big Help Out initiatives taking place across the country, they will not be attending any events in person.”

“These events will instead be attended by other members of the royal family.”

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester helped host a coronation street celebration at the Coptic Orthodox Church in London. While the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended a puppy class at a guide dog center in Reading.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was in Hertfordshire, where he prepared meals for the elderly in Rickmansworth by slicing vegetables.

Queen Camilla is the patron of the Royal Voluntary Service and the Big Lunch Initiative, and the royal family hopes that today’s additional bank holiday will encourage the general public to volunteer.

There was an appeal for hundreds of thousands of volunteer positions across 1,500 charities in the United Kingdom.

Those interested in volunteering can use an app to locate opportunities in their area.

Today, volunteers have already been in Green Park, one of London’s Royal Parks, where they have planted flowers and plants.

Bryony Cross, Royal Parks volunteer and programme manager, said around 180 volunteers signed up to plant flowers.

She said, “It’s crucial because we want to increase biodiversity in the parks.”

Ms. Cross stated that all volunteer positions have been filled and that there are more attendees than anticipated.

She added that “doing our part to encourage people to donate to the environment” is “very important to the King.”
