BREAKING: It's official! 👑 MORE: The Coronation | LIVE on Nine and 9Now
Queen Camilla is wearing the Robe of State, which was originally made for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
The Robe is made of crimson velvet and has been conserved with adjustments made by robemakers at Ede and Ravenscroft ahead of the coronation.It's made from Peau de Soie, a silk fabric with a dull lustre finish, and woven by Stephen Walters in Suffolk. It's embellished with delicate garlands of abstract wildflowers from fields and hedgerows: daisy chains, forget-me-nots, celandine and scarlet pimpernel, representing the King and the Queen Consort's affection for nature and the British countryside. Celebratory bunting, in antique gold and silver thread, intertwine among the swathes of wildflowers.
Embellishing the front hem area of the underskirt and the cuffs of each sleeve are the flower emblems of the four nations of the United Kingdom – a rose, a thistle, a daffodil and a shamrock.
