Princess Anne will play a vital role next to the King for his coronation in honour of her years of unwavering loyalty.
The Princess Royal will be included in the procession as the prestigious “Gold-Stick-in-Waiting”, which is a position historically handed to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign, according to The Mirror.
As Princess Anne is a “personal aide-de-camp” to His Majesty, she will make her way on a horse behind the new King and Queen after they are crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Charles and Camilla will make their way back to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach and Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel.
The privilege dates back to the 15th century in Tudor times and two officers - a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick, were placed close to the sovereign to protect him or her from danger.
Royal sources have said that the King personally told his sister of his wish and how she was “incredibly honoured” to be handed the role.
The pair have a good relationship and royal insiders have revealed that the King, 74, often leans on his trusted lieutenant Anne, 72, for advice and is a fan of her “no nonsense attitude”.
The palace source said: “The direction of the King’s decision is clear for all to see.
“He is rewarding the Princess Royal for her loyalty and her unwavering devotion to duty above all else.
“The King values his sister as a trusted lieutenant and this is the perfect example of such a relationship.”
The role of Gold Stick, now only demonstrated on ceremonial and state occasions, is held jointly by the Colonels of the Life Guards (LG) and the Blues and Royals (RHG/D), both being Regiments of the Household Cavalry of the Household Division.

The stars are stepping out to support King Charles and Queen Camilla on their big day!
King Charles will be formally crowned Saturday. The former Prince of Wales ascended the throne in September after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died September 2022 after serving her country 70 years. She was the longest-serving monarch in British history, making Charles the longest-serving heir apparent.
Lots of people in this coronation week look toward the history of the royals – none more so than the late Princess Diana who, without doubt, will be solely missed by so many.Time moves on, and people have different feelings - especially Prince Harry, who has been less than kind about his stepmother Camilla. The Camilla Effect has been hard for Harry to swallow despite her obvious love for him, which I witnessed many times while on location.
