King George V and Queen Mary in their Coronation robes, 1910 “The Royal School of Needlework has conserved the velvet, while the lining and gold lace was conserved by Ede and Ravenscroft, the oldest tailor and robe maker in London,” People reports. This robe is also called the Parliament Robe, as it is worn by the monarch for the State Opening of Parliament. The King will enter the Abbey wearing the Robe of State, made of crimson-colored velvet and worn by Charles’ grandfather King George VI at his 1937 Coronation. The order and the importance of his robes are detailed in the Liber Regalis, or Royal Book, which is a 14th century manuscript that serves as the official guide for Coronation ceremonies, according to Westminster Abbey.
The King will wear several historical robes throughout the ceremony, steeped in traditions dating back 1,000 years. Marie Claire covered both the King’s two coronation crowns and the Queen’s crown in separate pieces-here we’ll dissect what else they’ll don on the big day. The Coronation on May 6 is arguably the most important day in King Charles’ life-so what will he wear for the occasion?
