At today's coronation, all the senior members of the royal family are wearing white, but why?
- for months and months. Now, it's finally happening. Queen Camilla, as she will be known after today's ceremony, looked quietly dignified as she sat beside her husband in the carriage this morning. As they disembarked outside Westminster Abbey, onlookers and cameras got a first look at her gown, a beautifully embroidered number by one of her long-time favourites, Bruce Oldfield.
It's not unusual for the family to wear similar or coordinating shades - they often wear a soft blue for Easter, for example - but white is a particularly interesting colour to have chosen. It symbolises purity and is also one of the colours of the Union Jack. Could it be sending a subtle message of wiping the state clean, putting the past behind them and, most importantly, presenting a united front going forward? Very possibly.
