Prince William and Kate share incredible behind-the-scenes film of Coronation weekend

The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared an incredible behind-the-scenes film capturing the Coronation weekend.

William and Kate posted a link to the five-minute clip on Twitter, writing: "The Coronation Weekend. A film by Will Warr."

The video begins with a voiceover from a BBC presenter, saying: "The flags are out, the scene is set for a weekend of splendour and celebration."

It then captures the couple going on a walkabout to greet royal fans camped out on the Mall, and gathering at a reception with political leaders.

Moving on to the day of the Coronation, footage shows the Wales' inside their home and dressed in all their regalia as Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis gaze outside a window.

Charlotte beams as they walk out the entrance of Kensington Palace, and points to the state cars waiting to take them to Westminster Abbey.

Shifting to the ceremony, a voiceover is played of William saying: "I, the Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me God."

Crowds of fans cheer as the military procession makes its way up the Mall with the King, Queen and Wales' family waving from inside their carriages.

The day of the Coronation ends with footage showing working members of the royal family standing on Buckingham Palace's balcony while watching the flypast.

Later, the clip shows William doing a rehearsal for his speech at the Coronation Concert, walking up on stage and facing the mic.

Kate is also seen encouraging little Louis as he pushes a wheelbarrow during a volunteering project at a scout hut.

One particularly candid moment shows the beaming Princess skipping along with Charlotte and Louis while holding their hands.

The video ends with scenes of revellers waving flags and dancing along at the Coronation Concert.

Cheers erupt as William rounds off his speech, saying: "God save the King".

Royal fans flocked to the comment section to praise the clip, as well as the Prince and Princess' social media strategy during the Coronation celebrations.

One person wrote: "The Kensington Palace staff has done a great job on the social media over the Coronation week.

"Thank you for sharing this to us. It was a very delightful moment to see all the royal family members."

Another said: "You folks have incredible content creators on your team! I hope this group is a part of the team that will be working on William's documentary. Well done!"

And a third added: "Whoever is responsible for your new marketing strategy and social media: They are doing their job amazingly! Love the new aesthetics."

The footage was captured by Will Warr - a videographer who previously filmed William and Kate playing with their children on a beach in Norfolk to mark their 10th wedding anniversary.

He wrote on Instagram: "An honour and a privilege to have been asked to capture behind the scenes at the King’s Coronation last weekend for @princeandprincessofwales.

"A rare and exciting opportunity to be at the heart of the celebrations and to be a part of this historic weekend.

"The full film can be watched via the link in my bio."

It comes after the royal family returned to official engagements on Tuesday following the weekend of ceremony and celebration.

The King is among the working royals who went back to business as usual, along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

The duchess visited Morden College in Blackheath, London, of which she is a patron on Tuesday, while the duke attended a dinner at Stonehage Fleming at St James's Square for his patron charity, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation.

As the Coronation festivities came to a close on Monday night, the King and Queen pledged to rededicate their lives to service as Charles called the nation's support throughout the historic celebrations "the greatest possible Coronation gift".

In his special Coronation message, Charles said: "We thank you, each and every one."

Traditional official portraits marking the crowning of Charles III and Queen Camilla were released to round off the monarchy's landmark occasion.

Among them, the King was captured in his full regalia - wearing the Imperial State Crown, holding the Orb and Sceptre with Cross, and dressed in his regal purple tunic and Robe of Estate, seated on a Throne Chair in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.

Camilla was pictured alongside the King, and also in a solo portrait, wearing Queen Mary's Crown, with the train of her lengthy embroidered Robe of Estate spread in front of her.

The working royal family - the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Edinburghs, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Kent, the Gloucesters and Princess Alexandra - were also photographed stood with the King and Queen in the images by Hugo Burnand.
