We are three weeks away from the coronation of King Charles III, meaning that time is running out for members of the royal family, to choose what they will wear to attend this grand ceremony, but several reports indicate that talks are still underway about what Princess of Wales Kate Middleton will wear on this day.
And in the details, King Charles is concerned that Kate Middleton will surpass him in his day, especially if she wears a crown, as it was noted that the coronation ceremony will be a miniature version of his mother’s coronation in 1953.
And the king wants his family members to wear less formal fashion for his coronation, for fear that their presence will overwhelm him, so there have been suggestions that royal ladies, such as: Kate and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, do not wear classic crowns, meaning that the Princess of Wales may break traditions and abandon Her crown is for the comfort of the king in this historic event.
In this regard, Lorraine Keehna, a blogger in the field of royal jewelry, said that it is possible to establish a formal dress code, and perhaps this will see the replacement of crowns with hats, adding: “Almost every lady of the royal family wore crowns at the Queen’s coronation in 1953, as well as many Aristocratic women, but times have definitely changed in the last 70 years.”
She added that it is likely that King Charles will follow the example of some of his European counterparts, such as the King of the Netherlands, and establish a formal dress code during the day for the event.
Lauren stressed that this matter does not mean that we will not see some major jewelry, such as: necklaces and earrings, as this is still possible, but without crowns, in order to give a more formal character to the family.
Despite this, the king and queen will certainly wear sparkling crowns on the day of the coronation, as earlier it was revealed that Queen Camilla will wear the queen’s crown, and a crown will not be specially made for her on this occasion, which sparked controversy, as it was said to be the first time in modern history. , in which an existing crown is used to crown a new queen.
As for King Charles, he will wear St. Edward’s Crown, which is the official crown used to crown the reigning British monarch, and was worn by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at her coronation ceremony.
