Coronation Revelations: Kate’s Hidden Details Shine in Queen’s Necklace

The unveiling of the first official portraits from King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation last night provided a sneak peek into the new, streamlined monarchy.

Among the senior royals present in the photographs were Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and the heir to the throne, Prince William, standing beside the newly crowned King and Queen.

Charles expressed his profound gratitude for the overwhelming public support received during the historic weekend.

In his full regalia, the King was captured wearing the imperial state crown, clutching the orb and sceptre with cross.

Royal enthusiasts with keen eyes spotted several hidden details, especially focusing on the outfit worn by the Princess of Wales as she stood beside her husband and father-in-law.

In a poignant homage to Queen Elizabeth, 41-year-old Kate adorned one of the late monarch's necklaces to complement her exquisite ivory silk creep dress, crafted by her beloved designer, Alexander McQueen.

The necklace donned by the Princess of Wales was none other than Queen Elizabeth's George VI festoon necklace, a treasured possession of the late Queen and one of her favorites during her lifetime.

Crafted from 105 loose diamonds stored at Gerrard in pouches marked C.4.Crown, this necklace was designed for the purpose of extending or enhancing a tiara, a service that Queen Mary, the Queen's grandmother, frequently availed.

The resulting triple-strand necklace boasts rows of graduated stones suspended between two diamond triangles, serving as the Queen's preferred choice for wearing sans a tiara.

During the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday morning, expectations were high for Kate to adorn the necklace, yet it was notably absent on the day.

While no explicit reason was provided for the jewelry's absence throughout the service, speculations suggest its removal could have been to prevent damage to her Royal Victorian Order mantle secured with a silver bullion.

Amidst ongoing speculations, there are hints that Kate might have worn two gowns for the coronation, as the latest royal portraits showcase a gown with a distinct neckline compared to her stunning ivory silk creep dress by Alexander McQueen worn at the ceremony.

Forgoing a tiara, the royal mother-of-three opted for a matching Jess Collette x Alexander McQueen headpiece adorned with silver bullion, crystal, and silver thread work featuring three-dimensional leaf embroidery.

In a poignant tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, Kate embellished her ensemble with a set of Diana's pearl and diamond earrings, adding a touch of sentimental elegance to the occasion.
