Queen Consort Camilla wore a long gown of white silk, with gold and white embroidery, under the Mantle of State, worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in June 1953, made in crimson velvet. The heart of King Charles III is the first to be broadcast on social networks. His mother’s pioneering television broadcast.
The garment has a slightly V neckline, with pleat in front and long sleeves. A side yoke, also with embroidery, surrounds the sleeves near the shoulders. The dress was created, with Camilla’s help, by stylist Bruce Oldfield, who started designing for Camilla 13 years ago. The stylist was responsible for defining Princess Diana’s style in the 80s.
The model used by Camilla can be translated as a sober, almost basic piece, if it weren’t for the golden details. The queen consort also wore a necklace with several diamond stones.
According to The Telegraph, the dress is Peau de Sole silk, woven by Stephen Walters in Suffolk. The gold embroidery represents the king and queen’s love of nature and the British countryside, according to the publication. There are wildflowers of fields and hedgerows: daisies, forget-me-nots, celandine and scarlet primrose. The floral emblems of the four nations of the United Kingdom are embroidered on the sleeves: a rose, a thistle, a daffodil and a shamrock. The shoes, also white, are by Elliot Zed.
