Martine McCutcheon spots page boy 'wearing a football kit' under Coronation outfit

Former EastEnders actress Martine McCutcheon thinks she spotted an unusual detail amongst the grandeur of the King's Coronation earlier today.

The former soap star told her Instagram fans that she believes that one of the Prince and Princess of Wales' three children was wearing a football kit underneath their official Coronation garments.

Whilst Love Actually actress Martine doesn't specify which of the royal children is the die-hard football fan, it could well be one of the royal grandchildren including Prince George in his role as a page of honour for his grandfather or Prince Louis who amused viewers watching BBC coverage with his yawning and cheeky antics.

Speaking to her 577,000 Instagram followers, Martine wrote: "Long live the king! Wow… That was a ceremony and a half wasn’t it?! And to think Charles is in his seventies and still has SO much more to do for the rest of the day! I thought he and Camilla looked resplendent and as always Kate looked so classically beautiful. The children were so cute too!"

She then questioned: "Am I right in thinking one of them was wearing his football kit underneath his outfit?! If so, I love that!"

The Love Actually star then added to her royal tribute as she wrote: "I’m so pleased Charles was met with such warmth from the public and guests… I felt he was thinking of his “Dear Mama” so often throughout. I think our late Queen would be so very proud of her son today.

"With our world drastically changing all the time, I wondered how I would feel about the royals and the ceremony etc… I have to say, seeing all the history and heritage and reflecting on all the family have weathered and endured both publicly and personally brought me great comfort and pride actually - And with William and Kate on board too, I’m sure the family will continue to bring the credibility and tradition of the old mixed with the freshness and needs of the new for the country."

The star ended her caption as she said: "Now… I bet he can’t wait to get all that regalia off, have a cup of tea and put his feet up!"

The actress' followers felt the same as one wrote: "Yes long live the king ! He did look quite emotional.. The country wouldn’t be the same without the royal family .. The ceremony was lovely to see in our lifetime."

Another added: "I found it very moving too. You could sense the emotion for him. I was also thinking bet he can't wait to be in the garden with a cup of Earl Grey."

A third shared: "That’s exactly what I was thinking ! Cup of tea, finger sandwiches and their feet up!"
