Like the Coronation Sword Belt, Charles chose to reuse the hand piece that his grandfather, George VI, wore during his own coronation in 1937, rather than have one made entirely new.

The supertunica and the robe royal, which date back to the 1821 coronation of King George IV, are worn during the investiture, with the robe royal worn at the moment of crowning, “taking on a priestly role: one of the divine nature of kingship”, said Historic UK. In other words, the coronation of King Charles III will feature a less formal dress code than the Met Gala. During the investiture under the Imperial mantle, a Supertunica, a long, Byzantine-inspired gold silk coat is layered over. At Dumfries House he started a training scheme in high-end fashion and sewing skills which developed into the Modern Artisan, a range of luxury sustainable clothing for men and women created in partnership with Yoox Net-a-Porter and The Prince's Foundation.

The aims of The Royal Collection Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational activities. It included a coronation mantle made of red velvet, lined with ermine, and ornately embroidered which was so enormously heavy it took eight train bearers to carry it. So much so that he devised his own Windsor Uniform, influenced by the European trend for civilian uniforms which had been introduced by Louis XIV as a means of indicating a close connection with the monarch. If so, one would expect as per the coronation emblem, for there to be a nod to sustainability and the environment.

We live in such a visual age, and more so than ever, the royals need to be extremely conscious of what they’re wearing, where it’s made, and the significance of their wardrobe,” says the London-based fashion designer Nicholas Daley. 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. Whether you wear women's clothing or men's clothing you’ll find the original artwork that’s perfect for you. The robe was made for George V in 1911, and has been worn in every coronation since, including that of Elizabeth II.Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, wore a white Alexander McQueen gown underneath her ceremonial robes. Overlaid on a cloth of gold and set in a gold chain framework, the design features a series of roundels (circular disks) with embroidered images, such as the four emblems of the United Kingdom; a dove of peace (denoting the Holy Spirit); a Tudor Crown; and a pattern inspired by the Cosmati Pavement in the Abbey, where the Anointing takes place during the ceremony. National dress is a nod to the international heads of state and foreign delegations who will be in attendance — they can wear whatever is traditional to them. 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. Let’s be honest, there will only ever be one Queen Elizabeth, but you can do your best to look like her.
