All hail the queen. Several members of the royal family paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II through touching style statements at King Charles III’s coronation.
Charles, 74, was officially crowned during a service at Westminster Abbey in London on Saturday, May 6, receiving an homage from son Prince William in a historic event overseen by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The king arrived in a gilded gold carriage with wife Queen Camilla, who was crowned and anointed during her own dedication portion of the ceremony.
Upon arriving at the church, Camilla, 75, wore a robe that was made for her late mother-in-law for her coronation 70 years prior. The crimson red Robe of State was conserved by robemakers at Ede and Ravenscroft before the special occasion.
A second subtle nod to Elizabeth appeared in Camilla’s coat dress designed by Bruce Odfield, which she paired with silk shoes by Elliot Zed. The white gown featured lily of the valley, the same flowers that were used in Elizabeth’s coronation bouquet in 1953.
