The coronation of King Charles, where he and his wife Camilla became king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, took place on 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London. The St Edward's Crown was presented to King Charles and was placed on his head by the Archbishop. Queen Camilla wore a modified version of Queen Mary's Crown. Camilla will from now on be named as Queen Camilla.
King Charles and other members of the British royal family returned to Buckingham Palace after a 2 hour service attended by world leaders and celebrities along with sovereigns of other royal houses from around the world. Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022 after his mother Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
The Crown of Queen Mary is a consort crown that was made in 1911 for the British Queen Mary of Teck. It is from the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and was used to crown Queen Camilla at her coronation with Charles III today on May 6, 2023.
QLetizia: Channelling the spirit of Joan Collins in the role of Alexis from Dynasty. The colour is nice, though. A giant mushroom on the head, the pink veiling doesn't help. A classic pillbox hat would have elevated the ensemble.
ReplyDeleteQRania: Forgettable pastel yellow ensemble. A mesh turtleneck under an off-the-shoulder dress? Well, it's certainly a step up from the brown Schiaparelli horror from yesterday, bearing a vulgar price tag of 8000 pounds. This dull look is just as excessive in expenditure, I presume.
CPMary: Safe look, but classic and stylish. Dark purple through and through. The turquoise jewellery is a no. Talk about colour clash. I really don't like turquoise and diamonds together.
CPMette-Marit: Safe look, but classic and stylish. Soft pink through and through. But something is off with the top part of the dress; maybe a better bra?
QMaxima: This is very good. A off-white dress with beautiful detailing, enhancing her good figure. Light beige clutch and shoes, check. A small interestingly shaped hat, check. Hair and make-up, spot-on. And a minimum (for Maxima) of jewellery. Well done.
QMathilde: Another 'flying saucer' hat from Philip Treacy. I actually like them. Just not in all white. Maybe taupe or sand would complement the soft pink better? But she's definitely in need of a better bra!
CPVictoria: This is very good. An elegant electric blue ensemble, and it's rewear. The classic pillbox hat and hairstyle showcase her pretty facial features. Everything just works. Well done.
PCharlene: An ill-fitting two-piece suit. Wallpaper paste colour. That's it.
Lady Louise: Just perfect. An English rose.
Amy
But best dressed are Pippa and her brother! No pictures here on this site.
Deleteanna e.
To me you summarized it very well, Amy; best looking foreign royals imo as well were Queen Maxima and CP Mary. Although CP Victoria looks very good as well, I can't help but thinking she's wearing one of Queen Sylvia's dresses
DeleteTotally agree! My opinions exactly!!! Q.Maxima is the best dressed of the european royalties.
DeleteAgree to Pippa, although she is not royal

Major fashion claps for the whole group…10/10! Although I think everyone looked spectacular, my top marks go to Queen Maxima for her dress, Queen Letizia for her hat and Zara for her beautiful coat. Also loved Marie Chantal’s outfit and Lady Louise deserves a nod for the beautiful patterned dress.
ReplyDeleteVictoria, Mathilde and Zara nailed it. Their outfits was everything the occasion required. Charlene's dress... Different colour maybe and the thing hanging loose... No. Rainia's dress was the wrong colour and design. And Maria Theresa did not get the dress code. Lovely pantsuit, but not for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteCamilla's gown is elegant, well-made. I especially like Letizia in her rose-coloured, beautiful outfit as well as the princess of Liechtenstein's classic ensemble and colour. Maxima looks good, so do the Waleses. Catherine's hairstyle is great - and the little ones, especially Charlotte are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteTo me, Charlène looks far better in her cream-coloured tailleur than she did the night before at the reception.
Pauline
Jill Biden and her granddaughter in London. 🇺🇦 flag dress combi looks good :)
ReplyDeleteSo many shades of pink! I don't understand Letitiza's hat btw.
ReplyDeleteKate and Maxima both look absolutely amazing. So does Matilda of Belgium but there is something about the chest area that if it didn’t clash with my impression of her as a person, I had suspected surgery..!
ReplyDeleteCharlene is a complete mystery when it comes to wardrobe, yesterday (what on earth was she wearing, and why?!), today and always.
//Karin
Agree, they are also my favs
DeleteMaria Teresa wore pants to a coronation? How inappropriate. Meanwhile Charlene did her best to appear frumpish and unhappy in a horrible outfit, worse than the blue drapes she wore to the reception yesterday. The rest looked nicely turned out. Janye
ReplyDeleteElegant pants are not inappropriate, they are better than an ugly dress!
DeleteQ. Letizia won the visiting monarch's award for best dressed imho. That pink suit with the detail on the lapel and that orange hat sealed the deal for me. The admin. didn't show C.P. Mary but she looked good too. P. Catherine was an absolute vision in her regalia with that beautiful tiara, WOW just WOW. And little p. Charlotte was so pretty in her white cape with her little tiara!! What a show!! What a service!! The music and the choirs were just awe inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteThose were not tiara’s !!
DeleteActually, they were tiaras. But a very special kind, custom designed for the occasion and, although made from silver and adorned with crystals, less blingy than the usual ones. A perfect thing to wear for a daytime event of such high royal profile, where once the most bewelled tiaras had been worn. Clevery done. The laurel wreath motifs were a great nod to the Greek roots of the late Prince Philip as well as a throwback to Napoleonic times when such headgear had been just the rage. Many tiaras in use by European Royals come from these days, and some even feature leaf designs (laurel, olive, others) like the Danish Ruby Parure.
DeleteIndeed, no tiara, but „only“ a headpiece…, as it was the kings wish, that no tiaras should be worn…
DeleteAgree, only headpieces, must have been a difficult fashion choice, given the robe.
DeleteReminds me of empress Josephine …
DeleteI just want to say that I love this blog!! I love the interaction between posters! So much fun!!
DeleteWhat a feast for the eyes! The British Royals hands down owned this event. From Catherine's incredibly regal look to Eugenie's fresh pink, Zara's coordinated perfection and Louise's first big hat moment... not to forget little Charlotte in her adorable cape and of course the queen herself!
ReplyDeleteAs far as the foreign royals go, I'm utterly disappointed. There's not a single look that makes me really excited. Letizia's cut is too old-fashioned, the colour just a tad too far into Barbie pink and the hat is ugly. Mathilde chose the nicer pink, but something's definitely off with her undergarments and the hat is meh at best. Charlene... idk what to say. This is the most unflattering suit, colour and hat I've ever seen anyone wear. I get that Maria Teresa likes pantsuits and this one isn't bad either, but it's a coronation for heaven's sake, not a random kid's confirmation! Rania looks beatiful, but that yellow and the 80s cut don't do her any favours. Victoria looks like her mother - the outfit ages her big time!
Things start to get a bit better with Maxima. I think her dress is actually quite nice, though the hat is not my favourite. Mette-Marit played it safe, but at least that means it's a look that really flatters here, especially the hat with the little veil. Great looks from Kiko and the Greek royals! And finally, I'm not sure whether the Queen of Lesotho (at least I think that's her) is fully adhering to dresscode, but I applaud her gown - it's beautiful!
Now all I want is the official pictures and hopefully a glance at that stunner of a dress Kate is wearing underneath her robes!
-Nika-
Oops, apologies I got my princesses mixed up. It's of course Beatrice in pink!
DeleteAlso, I skipped Mary - she was one of my favourites! Love the purple, the hat, the cut... a bit baffled by the turquoise jewellery, but it's an interesting take.
-Nika-
Good outfits, mostly streamlined with no fuss, with strong colours and good tailoring. Some silly hats though (Letizia, Maxima, not too fond of Charlene´s either), and most dresses have an awkward length (Letizia, Charlene, Victoria, Mette-Marit).
ReplyDeleteI like what Mathilde is wearing, followed by Beatrice and Maxima.
Dislike Letizia´s whole design, disappointed by both Charlene and Mette-Marit.
Little Charlotte is my winner.
Who are the two women behind Queen Camilla?
ReplyDeleteRj
When Queen Camilla is coronated next to husband King Charles III this May 6, she will have two special women by her side. These ladies in attendance will be her sister, Annabel Elliot, and her longtime friend and current queen's companion Lady Lansdowne.

one of them is the sister of Camilla
DeleteThey are her maids of honour. I read somewhere else one of them is her sister and the other one a close friend.

DeleteI am not going to give comments on every European queen or princess. From Queen Mathilde I'd expected more. Another cape dress in another pink. The dress is too tight or the fabric is too thin. Like always the neck is too high closed. The pearl choker doesn't make it better. The brooch and the earrings would have been enough. The tights were to pale almost white. A little bit darker would have looked better. I love the dress by Jan Taminiau Queen Maxima is wearing. The cutouts in the fabric which look like a kind of lace is very original. I don't like her hat. I like Princess' Beatrice dress. The color suits her. The headband doesn't match. I don't like the ensemble of Princess Charlène. Too pale for her skin and the design is odd. Princess Eugenie looks good her face is very relaxed and her delicate make up is done so well. Also Zar
ReplyDeleteWasn't finished yet. Zara Tindall's coat dress looks very nice too. Better than what she is usually wearing on official occasions. I stop here.
ReplyDeleteLovely seeing all the family, foreign royals, celebrities and especially the various Crown Princes and Princesses who are waiting their turn.
ReplyDeleteMy favs were Letizia, Maxima, Lady Louise, Zara Tindall and P. Beatrice - top to toe, all of them. Loved Letizia's hat - modern, avant garde, a fresh change from the 'same-old' we're used to seeing..and fabulous.
Close contender: Queen Mathilde - though it seems like she has some serious corsetry or something going on under that dress. Her figure looks different. I like the pink colour of her dress but not the white hat. I wish it was pink as well.
Not so impressive: Victoria, Charlene and Rania. All could have done better though I will look for other photos on the other blogs I participate in which may tell a different story.
Beautiful/Cute: Catherine and Charlotte - just lovely! As well as George and Louis. Some very good genes in that pool!
- Anon 9:13
May I add..I also like Mary's purple outfit (seen on another site) and Harry's bespoke Dior suit. Princess Charlotte's dress is by Alexander McQueen. Lucky girl :)
Delete- Anon 9:13
Pink in different shades seems to the color of the day. Q Letizia has beautiful details on her top. Q Mathilde´s and CP Mette Martins are too tight. Hereditary princess Sophie looks excellent in her pink dress and coat. Queen Maxima dress is beautiful and actually fits. Something is out of proportion with Charlene's outfit. No hat or a larger one would have been better. CP Victoria's dress is nice but a tad too long. I don't like Q Rania´s dress nor that The GD is wearing pants.
ReplyDeleteI did not get the name nor title of the blond lady who was a very central part of the ceremony but her outfit and hat with the laurel/olive leaves embroidery was absolutely stunning!
Ladyofthemanor
I was wondering the same thing - the blond lady with the central part in the ceremony was a vision, who is she?
DeleteThe bearer of the sword was Penny Mordaunt, in her capacity as Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Council. She has previously served as Minister of Defence and Minister of Development.
DeleteI also admired her very much
That is Penny Mordaunt
DeleteDidn´t see the picture of CP Mary until now and she looks fabulous in her elegant purple dress. Ladyofthemanor
DeleteThe royal ladies do look lovely: crown princess Victoria dresses older than her age. Maxima, Mary, Mette-Marit, and Matilda dresses are lovely. Queen Raina dress is strange. Grand Duchess and Charlene are different.
ReplyDeleteI thought all the Royals, British and otherwise, looked wonderful. The top three, in my opinion are:
ReplyDelete1. Queen Camilla, of course, with her beautiful coronation gown, the incomparable coronation necklace, and of course the crown with those stupendous Cullinan diamonds. Wow!!!
2. Princess Charlotte in her exquisite white gown with capelet, and her amazing head band. Simplicity at its best. In years to come, she will be a knockout.
3. Queen Letizia was gorgeous! Her rose-colored dress with peplum top is beautiful and perfectly tailored. Her earrings are matchless! I wasn't a big fan of her hat, but her shoes were perfect. (The King was easy on the eyes too).
It would take too much time, and space, to rank all of them, so I'll stop here.
Wow! What a day! Cathrine and Charlotte look wonderful, and everyone was so happy! I saw the whole coronation on Swedish television
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, these two were the stand outs for me beautiful. Jj
DeleteMy favourite, The Wales ladies; Charlotte and Catherine looked so Regal in matching outfits, in Alexandar McQueen ofcourse.
ReplyDeleteUna cerimonia emozionante, la monarchia inglese è top per questo!
ReplyDeleteChi è la bella signora bionda che regge la spada e sempre presente sul palco reale?
Rossella
Penny Mordaunt
DeletePrincess of Wales-Very regal as always, but I think she should tone down the eye make-up, it makes her look severe.
ReplyDeleteQueen Letizia- I do not like the ruffles on the jacket, and the skirt is too long.
Queen Mathilde- I like the colour and the style, but her bra doesn't fit well.
Queen Maxima - Not over the top as usual. I like her dress, not sure about the hat.
Lady Louise Windsor - very fresh, a nice summer dress, I like the colour and the style.
Princess Marie-Chantal - Elegant and so is Queen Sofia.
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa - I do not like her pant suit with the a piece of fabric hanging on the side.
Princess Charlene - Her outfit is very ugly. (sorry)
Princess Mette-Marit - Her dress does not fit properly and the colour does nothing for her.
Queen Rania - I don't like the style of the dress, nor the hat and the pale yellow color doesn't suit her.
Princess Victoria - Nice blue dress, on the safe side but it works. I am not a fan of the pill box hat.
Princess Beatrice - Her dress is fine but I do not like the sleeves.
Zara - She looks very elegant.
Voilà c'est tout.
MJT
Queen Sofia ?? She was not there
DeleteThere is not queen Sofia, perhaps you mean queen Anne-Marie with Pavlos and Marie Chantal. And yes, they all look good.
DeleteYou are right, it was Queen Anne-Marie.
DeleteI've watched it on TV. Catherine and little Charlotte both looked absolutely beautiful. Nearly all the royal ladys were a pleasure to see - with the exception of Charlene, who's outfit was not good.
ReplyDeleteSome of the RL look stunning, others not so much. But today it was not about the fashions of the RF and guests, it was about the Crowning of the King and Queen of England. Both looked splendid. Q Camillas gown also had the two rescue dogs embraided on the hem of the gown. Long live the King and Queen. css
ReplyDeleteToday was absolutely about fashion. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
DeletePrinzessin Charlotte und Lady Louise sind meine Favoritinnen, es macht einfach Freude, diese jungen Damen heranwachsen zu sehen. Sie beide in ihren Festkleidern sind bezaubernd schön. Alle weiteren Damen will ich nicht kommentieren und mir auch nicht ein zweites mal ansehen - ich bin neugierig auf alle weiteren Eindrücke von hier zu lesen - ich bin enttäuscht, von dem was die königlichen Hoheiten zu diesem so wert- und bedeutungsvollen Krönungsereignis aus ihren Kleiderzimmern bevorzugten. Und nein, ich spreche jetzt auch keine Hose an ; ) freue mich auf die Beiträge hier. -Dorothe-
ReplyDeleteI had planned to mention only Lady Louise, and of course pleased to include Charlotte. Louise is regal, so much better than the day before.
DeleteWhat a breathtaking, once-in-a lifetime, historical event. Loved every minute of the ceremonies and the wonderful music. Wishing the king and queen all the best for the future. Camilla's dress was gorgeous as well as sweet Charlotte. Kate looked glamorous with her traditional cape. From the foreign royals Letizia, Maxima and Mathilde had charming dresses. Very disappointing the strange suit of Charlene and dress of Rania.
ReplyDeleteFashionwise my 12 points go to: Queen Maxima, Zara Tindall, Lady Louise and especially Princess Beatrice. But I think everyone looked nice and certainly appropriate. The only outfit I don't quite understand is Charlene's: the colour is washing her out and the model doesn't suit her. I'm sure the British royal family are glad everything went smoothly. King Charles and Queen Camilla looked thoughtful and, as all other senior royals, very aware of the historic meaning of this event. It was a joy to watch this unique ceremony with fantastic music (orchestras and choirs).
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteThe Princess of Wales never looked more stunning, but I was surprized with the ellegance of Zara Phillips, she looks very slim and stylish.
ReplyDeleteAlmost everyone looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy best dressed is Princess Charlotte, just lovely and timeless little girl fashion.
Lady Louise looks so pretty. Queen Maxima is looking Low key but still interesting. CP Mary is my favorite of the grown ups, simple, elegant and beautiful.
Princess Charlene, her proportions look off.
They all looked good, but Letizia must have forgotten her hat at home since she ended up with the fruit bowl on her head 😉
ReplyDeleteMust say it mind boggling seeing the readers comment that bespoken dresses don't fit...Come on people. Do better.
ReplyDeleteIf a dress pulls across the bosom it is too tight and does not fit properly regardless of if it is bespoken. Queen Maxima often wears very tight fitting clothes that then wrinkle and pull when moving. IMO that is not well fitted. Ladyofthemanor
DeleteWe should understand that many of these dresses re suited. This means they look best when the person are standing still. When they move it pull.
DeleteI have an education in dress making. Non of these dresses are to tight. We first have to learn something about dressmaking and how these outfit are made to fit, and look good. Think about a suit jacket. It never looks good when a person are walking around, but standing straight up and down.
DeleteIt has not a lot to do with fashion, but I loved how little Charlotte was holding her brothers hand and both singing God save the king. Super cute
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteQueen Letizia looked stunning, her ensemble complete with accessories, perfect.
ReplyDeleteLady Louise looked beautiful.
Zara looked immaculately groomed, I particularly loved her diamond brooch, she looked beautiful.
CP Mary and Queen Maxima looked very elegant.
Pss Charlene's' outfit unfortunately does not look good.
Queen Maxima, Princess Mary , Marie Chantal and Princess Sofia of Liechtenstein, They are My Tops.

Congratulations to King Charles and Queen Camilla. It was a wonderful ceremony.
ReplyDeleteIt was touching to see young Prince George performing his duties so well, the scene where Prince of Wales declared to serve the King, the dignified presence of Princess Anne, and the elegance of Lady Louise Windsor, etc.
It was a pity that we did not see the royal tiaras. The tiaras would be appropriate for such a solemn ceremony.
However, I was glad to see Crown Princess Kiko in her beautiful kimono. Both her kimono and obi are great works of art. The pattern woven into her obi means that connecting with others is equivalent to the seven treasures, and is worn on celebratory occasions. She must have chosen for the prosperity of the British Royal Family.
The other royals were all fabulous.
The ceremony was just absolutely splendid to watch. I find these royal events really affirming as a Christian. The King seemed to have moments of personal reflection and I loved the personal moments he shared with his consort and heir in the ceremony. I always had a soft spot for King Charles and am excited for the changes his reign will bring.
ReplyDeleteLong live King Charles!
The Wales' were my favourites, after the King and Queen. I really love seeing this young family's dynamics. Prince George performed his duty very well, together with his fellow "workers". Princess Charlotte and prince Louis looked very nice and I love their relationship - princess Charlotte is a well-behaved and beautiful little girl. She has to be my best dressed royal at the event. And of course the Prince and Princess of Wales looked very well too.
My top marks for the person who surprised me most go to Lady Louise, and I was pleasantly surprised. Seemingly overninght Lady Louise has blossomed and was just glowing. She looked so beautiful and she gets my second best dressed young royal.
PS: I almost forgot, the Queen looked very beautiful as well. The British Royal family as just been glowing the past couple of months.

Loved Queen Letizia, Zara Tindall and Queen Maxima. Honorable mention to CP Mary. Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte were impeccable. Brigitte Macron, whilst not a royal, almost looked wonderful in pale pink.
ReplyDelete~ Peonies
And although she is not royal, the granddaughter of Jill Biden was so lovely. What a beautiful shade of yellow, what lovely flowey dress. Beautifull headpiece. She could marry a prince.

ReplyDeleteToo much beautifull things to see.
ReplyDeleteMy selection is : Queen Camilla: beautifull dress with the two embroidered dogs on the skirt!
C.P. Mary: on top: simple, elegant, beautifull colour.
Queen Annamarie of Greece: beautifull dark blue silk combination.
C.P. Victoria: surprising simple good dress!
Zara, Letizia, Maxima: very good.
Lay Louise: lovely!
Catherine: stunning make-up and hair with hairpiece.

Three royal outfits in particular caught my attention, which were different. CP Mary as the only one, who wore a hat with veil in front of the face ! GD Maria Teresa in a pantsuit for a coronation. Princess Charlene's dress with fluttering short train. / AM
ReplyDeleteAbsolute fashion fail: Maria Teresa and Charlene.
ReplyDeleteFor the win: Catherine, Zara Tindall, Mary
Special mention for a non-royal, but one of the key people on stage: Penny Mordaunt (leader of the House of Commons, holding the sword for hours). The petrol green ensemble was perfection.
--Natascha--
Gorgeous outfits, but Kate and daughter Charlotte are outstanding in every. aspect I think. Zara Tindall is perfect and the light blue is stunning on her! Very fun to look at and thank you for the pics! A
ReplyDeleteHelen, thank you as always for these wonderful photos. I was in the crowd on the Mall and the atmosphere was absolutely incredible. However, you don’t see very much. My top three are Lady Louise, Zara Tindall and the Princess of Liechtenstein as well as all the Wales children. Queen Letizia’s outfit is beautiful but the skirt is too long, I also like Princess Marie Chantal and Queens Maxima and Mathilde. 🤴 🇬🇧 🥂

DeleteA thanks from me also. We are spoilt by our blog master.
DeleteHonestly, GD Maria Teresa and Princess Charlène shocked me to the core. Oh my, oh my, what were they thinking? Though, I quite liked the colour on the dress of President Bidens granddaughter, I think it was too wide for her. And so many pink shades (adding Mrs. Macron to them) made things sadly less varied. Penny Mordaunt was my hero of the day. She stood straight for about two hours with the swords, not even batting an eyelid, and seemed to be the perfect mix of Archangel Michael and Pallas Athena. The details of embroidery on the queen's dress were just exquisit and so clearly her. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMette-Marits new Dundas dress has embroidered skirt with a traditional Norwegian flowermotif and Tudor roses honering the new king.
ReplyDeletethe most beautiful and elegant, as always and far above the other princesses and queens, is Princess Mary of Denmark
ReplyDelete12 points go to the Netherlands😉
DeleteBoth Maxima and Mary are the winner for me
DeleteQueen Rania is wearing a rash guard under her off the shoulder dress. Why?

On another site you can see some very good photos of the Middleton family arriving at Westminster Abbey. The Princess of Wales’s mother, father, sister and brother.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo, there is a glimpse of Angela Delly, the late Queen Elizabeth’s dressmaker. I’m pleased that she got an invitation to attended the Coronation.

Sorry, Angela KELLY, the late Queen Elizabeth’s dressmaker.
DeleteThank you for the information.
DeleteI recently read an article about King Charles making Queen Elizabeth's wish come true and giving her a house. It is a lovely story.
I love Princess Charlene’s dress. Very retro. The design looks as though it has been taken from a 1930’s fashion magazine where one could buy a sewing pattern for your dressmaker.
ReplyDeleteIt looks smart and stylish on paper but unfortunately, doesn’t show its best when worn.
To set off the retro look, she should have carried gloves.
Not an easy dress to wear.
BUT I give full marks to Princess Charlene and Princess Mary for respecting the suggested dress code for head wear.
That is, a fascinator or Bibi (small hat).
Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein wore a Bibi.
Why only Charlene and Mary? They all have head wear except Maria-Teresa, and Victoria, Mette-Marit, Marie-Chantal, Anne-Marie, Sophie, Kate, Beatrice, Zara, Eugenie and Rania are all wearing small hat, bibi or fascinator. It's pretty bold saying that the BRF are not following the dress code.
DeleteI think she chose her best in terms of fascinator and bibi (small hat), without meaning criticism of the BRF.
DeleteI like Marie Chantal, Zara and Sophie's ones.
Dear Anon 11:59
DeleteI said nothing about the BRF not respecting the dress code……. nothing.
There was a “suggested” dress code published by the palace for visitors and invitées who attended the Coronation service.
For head wear a fascinator was suggested.
In the French version they suggested a Bibi (a small hat).
In case you missed it, the recommendation said……….
“If no obligation has been formally sent to the approximately 2,000 guests concerning the dress code, their outfits should reflect the spirit of sobriety of the ceremony, without too much pageantry. Women should therefore wear a "day dress" accessorized with a fascinator or not.
Regarding men, they will have the choice between a suit, a jacket – more formal – or a military uniform. Hats for men are optional”.
Hope you enjoyed the Coronation @Anon 11:59
Wasn't Queen Silvia invited? Why?
