Prince William and Princess Kate play an important role in the coronation of King Charles III. – the royal couple enchants the spectators and fans with their magnificent robes.
Even if today all eyes are certainly on King Charles III. are directed, his son William and his wife Kate are also eye-catchers at the coronation. Arriving at Westminster Abbey, the heir to the throne and princess took everyone’s breath away in their festive robes – although they don’t appear to be perfectly matched.
While Kate’s royal cape is made mostly of a dazzling azure silk fabric, Williams’ robe is made of dark blue velvet. But the shades of blue don’t really go together. While the 40-year-old wears a classic uniform hat, his wife’s head is adorned with an elegant headdress.
Instead of a classic tiara, Kate chose the accessory by British hat designer Jess Collett Milliner, according to the Daily Mail. The three-dimensional leaf embroidery was created in collaboration with star designer Alexander McQueen.
Earrings as a touching tribute to Princess Diana
However, the princess’s eye-catching earrings have a very special background: the set of pearls and diamonds once belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. She had been given the unusual jewelery as a gift to Charles in 1981 before her marriage and always happily wore it on her royal trips to Australia, Canada and Italy.
The ivory silk crepe dress Kate wears under her cape is designed by McQueen, as is her headdress. That’s almost a shame, because the detailed embroideries with rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs have not come into their own so far. But the fans and viewers don’t seem to mind at all. They are completely enchanted by the mother of three online.
On Twitter, the compliments are lined up – for many, the princess herself looks like a real queen. Even if Charles’ wife Camilla is crowned queen today. The fans find it particularly sweet that the 41-year-old has coordinated with her daughter Princess Charlotte. The little royal wears a mini version of Kate’s glamorous hairpiece. And her ivory-colored robe also goes perfectly with her mother’s dress.
