Pages of Honour (UK)

Pages of honour are assist with the royals robes and train and perform other ceremonial duties during events like the State Opening of Parliament. They have been used in the past during the Order of Garter Ceremony, but we have not seen that yet in King Charles's reign as he did not wear a robe with a long train in 2023. 

Page of honour are typically sons of extended family or friends and are usually 10-13 years old.

How long a page of honor serves, depends on how long they can fit into the uniform.  Pages of Honor only perform duties at a few events. So, the uniforms are passed down from page to page & not custom-made.

Notes: 

Royals do not typically serve as Pages of Honour, expect for extra special occasions like coronations. That is why Prince George only served as Page for the Coronation.
