King Charles III and Queen Camilla celebrated Trooping the Colour in London, with the royal family showcasing dazzling jewels and participating in traditional ceremonies, including a carriage procession and flypast, while paying tribute to recent tragedies.
Kate Middleton kicked off the coronation weekend festivities in a royal blue cocktail dress from Self-Portrait with a leg slit, accessorized with royal jewels. She attended a reception at Buckingham Palace with Prince William and mingled with guests including Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, and first lady Dr. Jill Biden. Fashion experts predict that Middleton will wear more "modernized" looks and possibly honor Princess Diana or Queen Elizabeth with her jewelry choices during the coronation events.
King Charles III has inherited the Royal Collection of jewels worth billions of dollars, and it is now up to him to decide who will get to wear what to his coronation on May 6. Queen Camilla is likely to wear the Queen Mary Crown and other fabulous headgear, including the Greville Tiara and Queen Victoria’s stunning coronation necklace. Princess Catherine, the next queen consort, may wear the Lover’s Knot Tiara, the Cartier Halo Tiara, the Lotus Flower Tiara, or the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Some female members of the royal family will be chosen to wear a “Family Order” brooch featuring a portrait of King Charles.
