About this episode

This episode explores the fashion choices of the royal family during the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, comparing them to historical coronation attire.

One of the most anticipated, and ceremonially significant parts of the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla was what the royals would wear. And everyone wanted to know if Catherine, Princess of Wales would be wearing a Tiara. From real fur to faux tiaras, and some surprising and creative robe choices, the royal family were all dressed to impress. Now that the ensembles they selected have been splashed on screens across the world, let’s take a look at the history of English and British coronation fashion and see how the 2023 Westminster abbey looks staked up.
