Camilla's five grandchildren will play an important role in the ceremony that is usually reserved for duchesses.

Prince George may also have a special role in the ceremony.

Camilla has two children with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, and five grandchildren.

The decision to involve Camilla's family feels considered and familial.

This change in tradition is seen as a bold move and a reflection of modern life.

Camilla will wear the crown of Queen Mary instead of the controversial Queen Mother's platinum crown.
