Many members of the Royal Family have experienced tragedies over the years, from early deaths to horrific disasters. And while there are a great deal of terrible stories, some of the saddest have affected the senior Royals who featured in King Charles's official Coronation portraits. The first tragedy affected Prince Edward, Duke of Kent (standing far right) and Princess Alexandra (standing second left).The first cousins of Queen Elizabeth II have dedicated their lives to royal service and have carried out hundreds of engagements and official appearances.

Although Princess Diana’s untimely death was long before Kate Middleton ever met Prince William, Kate has frequently paid tribute to her late mother-in-law in various touching ways. For the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Kate chose to give a subtle nod to Diana’s memory by wearing a pair of her earrings for the occasion.The Princess of Wales wore a set of Diana’s pearl and diamond earrings throughout the procession and ceremony and has been spotted in them on several occasions before, with them being one of Diana’s favourite pairs.The earrings were a gift to Princess Diana from Collingwood before she became Princess of Wales, with the jewellery firm being a favourite of the Spencer family, and were given to her ahead of her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.They feature a round diamond stud, with a second round diamond danging from it and bell cap set containing a pearl drop and three additional rows of smaller diamonds.

King Charles III put a modern sartorial spin on his coronation look.While much of the British monarch's coronation on Saturday inside Westminster Abbey complied with long-held tradition and protocol, Queen Elizabeth's firstborn son took some liberties with his wardrobe for the occasion — and they did not go unnoticed. Notably, the 74-year-old sovereign made the look his own by ditching the standout silk stockings and breeches worn by kings of the past, including his grandfather, King George VI. However, Charles' predecessors still appeared to influence his overall ensemble as he entered Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, sporting a crimson coronation tunic and cream overskirt reportedly inspired by those similarly worn by George V and George VI at their own coronations, according to .

coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's memory were felt throughout, with several nods made to both late royals. When it came to Elizabeth, who died in September, there were several nods made by her son and his second wife, largely in the outfits they wore during Saturday's ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, England. When it came to the king, his Stole Royal was inspired by one worn by his mother during her coronation in 1953 and featured a series of roundels that included the four emblems of the United Kingdom. Camilla's outfit featured several more notable nods to Elizabeth, with the new queen wearing her late mother-in-law's historic «coronation necklace.» First commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1853, it was also worn by Elizabeth during her crowning ceremony in 1953. Additionally, Camilla's «Robe of State,» which was worn upon her arrival at Westminster Abbey, was originally made for Elizabeth in 1953. Her «Robe of Estate,» meanwhile, was embroidered with 24 plants, including the Lily of the Valley, which was the late queen's favorite flower. During the ceremony, Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which was made for the 1911 coronation of Queen Mary, the consort of King George V.

Kate Middleton is looking stunning at King Charles III's coronation. The Princess of Wales stepped out for the historic event on Saturday, May 6, wearing a blue cape and silver floral headpieceas she entered Westminster Abbey alongside her husband, heir apparent Prince William, and behind the king. The Princess of Wales sported an Alexander McQueen design for the special occasion: an ivory silk crepe dress with silver bullion and embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock motifs signifying the four nations.

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte made a stunning mother-daughter duo at the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday. Both Kate and daughter Charlotte, 8, wore Alexander McQueen to the ceremony, the same designer who created Kate's wedding dress in 2011. The duo also boasted coordinating headdresses. Kate, the Princess of Wales, wore an Alexander McQueen dress in ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and thread work embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs, to signify the four nations in Great Britain.

King Charles will undoubtedly be the star of Saturday’s Coronation - but the momentous occasion will see Queen Consort Camilla crowned too. Camilla, 75, is set to be the first Queen Consort crowned in the UK in almost a century. Queen Elizabeth - also known as The Queen Mother - was handed the title and a crown at her husband King George VI’s Coronation in 1937.

King Charles will be officially crowned on Saturday (6 May) - finally taking up the role he has been preparing for since he was three years old. The 75-year-old royal became first in the line of succession when he was a toddler after his grandfather King George VI died on 6 February, 1952, and his mother, Elizabeth II, became Queen.

One day – hopefully many years from now – the world will be celebrating the coronation of a new King George. Meanwhile, the young Prince George of Wales is only 9 and the coronation of his grandfather Charles III will be his introduction to the family business.George will have a key role as “Page of Honour” to the King, becoming the youngest future king to play an official role at a coronation.While the Page is a ceremonial role it also has an important job; ensuring that King Charles doesn’t trip over his long robes as he walks down the aisle at Westminster Cathedral.George will be the youngest of four pages.

Another historic day is upon us as King Charles III Coronation takes place on Saturday (May 6). The former Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla will officially be crowned King and Queen in a Westminster Abbey ceremony months after the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

It's almost time for King Charles III's Coronation at Westminster Abbey. Alongside wife Camilla, he will officially be crowned monarch this Saturday, May 6.

King Charles’ Coronation is nearly here, with excitement building across the UK and around the world. It is the first British Coronation of the 21st century - and the first in 70 years - since the King’s mother Queen Elizabeth II was officially crowned on 2 June, 1953. Buckingham Palace said Charles' big day would reflect the monarch’s role today and looking towards the future, while being rooted in long standing traditions and pageantry of the past.

K.J. Yossman Composer Patrick Doyle counts “Cinderella,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” among the films he has scored. From Saturday, the two-time Oscar nominee (for his work on “Hamlet” and “Sense and Sensibility”) will have another credit to add to his already-lengthy resume: composing the music for King Charles III’s coronation. It is a gig that will cement his place in the annals of history, joining fellow royal coronation composers including Handel (who was commissioned for the coronation of King George II in 1727) and Elgar (for Edward VII in 1902). So how did the man who also composed the music for “The Emoji Movie” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary” come to be involved in such an historic event?
