King Charles III is rewriting the royal fashion rule book with his invitation to dress in 'business attire' for his coronation. Will we see a modern, pared-down monarchy emerge? KingCharles coronation
“People will want to keep it modern, and elegantly simple—but it’s not a fashion show,” Jones added. “They’re aware it’s a historic moment, and they’ll be asking themselves ‘How does it look now?’ ‘How will it look in 10 years’ time, or in 100 years’ time?'”at a moment “when people are having a problem paying their bills,” and that he instead “wants the coronation to be a more modest affair.”
For his own attire, Charles will wear his naval uniform, while Queen Camilla is planning to wear a dress designed by former Princess Diana designer Bruce Oldfield, as well as a crown made for Queen Mary andfrom Queen Elizabeth II’s collection. Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has not yet announced her choice of attire, but royal author Bethan Holt speculates that she’ll work with Sarah Burton, a designer for Alexander McQueen who created Catherine’s wedding dress back in 2011.
All in all, it will be quite a different scene from the royal family’s last coronation in 1953 and will certainly set the stage for the tenor of Charles’s reign. Hopefully, there’s still room for inspiring style statements within his pared-down monarchy.
