The royal family will be hoping for a flawless execution of the necessary customs required of a monarch's coronation on Saturday.
All eyes will be on the carefully curated service in which Charles and Camilla will formally become the King and Queen.
And hundreds of people have a part to play - including the Lord President of the Privy Council, Penny Mordaunt, a Conservative MP.
Ms Mordaunt will carry out the task, redeeming the sword for the bag of silver-coloured coins, worth £50 in total, at the altar in Westminster Abbey.
She will become the first woman in history to present the intricate, tapered, priceless sword, which was made for George IV’s extravagant 1821 coronation, to a monarch.
The sword will be blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury before Ms Mordaunt will carry it to the King and place it in his right hand.
It will be clipped to the golden coronation sword belt also known as the girdle around his waist.
Meanwhile, her younger brother Louis - who turned five on St George's Day on April 23rd - looked regal in a bespoke outfit.
For the historic occasion, the young Prince is wearing an outfit made by Savile Row tailors Dege and Skinner which consists of a Hainsworth Garter Blue Doeskin Tunic with specially designed lace work embellishment to the collar, cuffs and fronts. The leg garment is black complete with Garter Blue stripe.
After watching her grandfather be crowned King, she will accompany her siblings in the procession from the church after the ceremony.
She is then likely to join her family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Prince Louis, 5, is the youngest of William and Kate’s three children.
Due to his young age he will not have a large role in the coronation, but is expected to join his family in the procession and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
It is not the youngsters’ first experience of a royal carriage procession, with the trio waving to crowds from a landau during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.
