In accordance with tradition, Their Majesties will wear two different sets of robes during the Coronation Service - the Robes of State and the Robes of Estate. However, as he was an elderly German man who didn't speak much English, was only 52nd in line to the throne, and only king because he was the nearest Protestant candidate according to the Act of Settlement, it probably suited him to keep a low profile.

It is made of purple silk velvet with gold lace and was conserved by the robemakers Ede and Ravenscroft in preparation for use by His Majesty. Although she notes that he did "understand the need to dress for the role whenever necessary, so he wears the Coronation robes with great swagger in Ramsay's portrait. Led by the woman dubbed Spain’s answer to Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia did not disappoint in a hot pink peplum skirt suit by Carolina Herrera, complemented by a wide brimmed hat as she made her way into the Abbey with husband, King Felipe. During their tour of the Palace’s State Rooms, visitors will also see the Chairs of Estate, were used during the first stages of the Coronation, in the Throne Room. Accessorise your look with a funky Union Jack Wig or get into the party spirit wearing a fun hat accessory.

The Coronation outfits worn by Their Majesties The King and Queen will go on public display for the first time from tomorrow (Friday, 14 July) at Buckingham Palace. George I "was not interested in fashion at all," says Anna Reynolds, curator of Style and Society: Dressing the Georgians, currently showing at the Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace. Visitors to the State Rooms will also have the opportunity to view the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, in which the King and Queen travelled from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey on the morning of the momentous day, which will be set in the Palace’s State Entrance.

With millions set to follow the coronation on TV and streaming, Charles clearly understands the value in the optics reflecting modern—rather than medieval—life.According to Caroline de Guitaut, the deputy surveyor of the King's Works of Art at the Royal Collection Trust, “It was the King's personal decision” to reuse these items, as she told the BBC. The Robe is made of crimson velvet and has been conserved with adjustments made by robemakers at Ede and Ravenscroft ahead of the Coronation. Again, the robe’s design ‘draws on themes of nature and the environment, featuring the floral emblems of the United Kingdom and a further 20 plants chosen for their personal associations’. Stealing focus, though, was a sugar-pink Katy Perry who wore a bespoke suit from Vivienne Westwood, UK fashion’s late Queen of Punk, as she arrived with British Vogue’s editor in chief Edward Enninful. These were cloth of gold, the colour purple and sable fur, although they would have been reserved for special occasions.

Outfits worn by Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the Coronation will go on public display for the first time as part of the Summer Opening of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace between 14 July and 24 September 2023. The Royal School of Needlework’s design of the train draws on the themes of nature and the environment, featuring the national emblems of the United Kingdom, as well as paying tribute to His Majesty The King.

Royals around the world pulled up in their best regal pomp to celebrate the crowning of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. While the King’s choice of outfits has provoked much discussion, there has also been further controversy and upset over the dress code for guests, with robes set to be banned, according to the Mirror. Though her coronation has been portrayed on The Crown, Queen Elizabeth II didn’t have to worry about her outfit going viral for the wrong reasons. Also featured is the ‘Alchemilla Mollis’, known as Lady’s Mantle, which symbolises love and comfort, Maidenhair Fern, which symbolises purity, and cornflowers, which represent love and tenderness. These include the Coronation Glove and the Girdle, which were worn by King George VI at his Coronation in 1937.
