A subtle tribute. Before Queen Consort Camilla is officially crowned during her husband King Charles III’s coronation, she will enter Westminster Abbey with a small piece of Queen Elizabeth II’s memory.Camilla, 75, and Charles, 74, will follow tradition on their Saturday, May 6, coronation day, by each wearing two sets of robes during the service.
Their respective Robes of State are worn on arrival to the cathedral, while the Robes of Estate are worn on departure and personalized in design.According to a Saturday, April 29, post on the royal family’s website, the queen consort will wear the Robe of State that was “originally made for” Elizabeth in 1953 for her own coronation.
The stately robe is made of crimson-colored velvet that was conserved by Ede and Ravenscroft robemakers.At the end of the service, Camilla will swap Elizabeth’s robe for a new Robe of Estate, which was crafted by Ede and Ravenscroft and hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, of which the Reading Room founder is patron.
The Robe of Estate — which matches Charles’ in its rich purple hue — features themes of nature to represent the couple’s “affection for the natural world” and commitment to environmental issues.Elizabeth ruled on the British throne for 70 years until her September 2022 death at the age of 96.
