Prince William Makes Rare Comments About Kate Middleton’s Style As Her Coronation Outfit Is Reportedly ‘Under Discussion’

Kate Middleton's Coronation Outfit Was 'Under Discussion'

As we previously mentioned, Kate's outfit for King Charles' coronation has reportedly been "under discussion" for a while. We have even heard the rumors that Kate might not wear a tiara, much to the disappointment of royal fans around the world!

Some insiders have hinted that it might be due to King Charles allegedly being worried that Kate may upstage him, while others think it might be due to the entire coronation being more scaled back than the late Queen Elizabeth II's one in 1953, which would therefore mean that a tiara may be a tad extravagant for anyone other than the new King and Queen. At previous coronations, for example, members of the royal family have always worn their finest gowns and jewelry, including tiaras, but we're still unsure what the dress code will be next month!

What Will Kate Middleton Wear To The Coronation?

Time is running out for members of the royal family to pick out the perfect coronation outfit, as the ceremony is just one week away! Due to the scaled back nature of this coronation – it's apparently only a third of the size of the late Queen Elizabeth's – the King reportedly wants members of his family to dress accordingly. As well as his daughter-in-law potentially forgoing the tiara, there have even been suggestions that other royal ladies such as Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, for example, may also choose to go without.

Kate may therefore break tradition and forgo her sparkly headpiece in favor of a more low-key option at the historic event. One respected royal jewelry blogger reported to People that it's possible a daytime formal dress code could be set, which would see tiaras replaced with hats. "Tiaras were worn by nearly every royal lady at the Queen's coronation in 1953, as well as lots of aristocratic women but times have certainly changed in 70 years," Lauren Kiehna, blogger of The Court Jeweller, told the publication. And, Kate has worn some seriously stylish hats in the past, like the one she "copied" from Meghan Markle.

"I'm certainly hoping we'll see coronation tiaras, but it's possible that Charles is following the example of some of his European counterparts, like the King of the Netherlands, and setting a daytime formal dress code for the event," Kiehna continued. "That would mean that we could still see some grand jewels, like necklaces, brooches, and earrings but no tiaras. I'll be sad if that's true but it may just be another part of the 'de-formalizing' of the British royal world that has taken place over the last several decades."

However, the King and Queen will definitely be wearing glittering crowns on coronation day. Earlier in 2023, it was revealed that Camilla will be crowned with the controversial Queen Mary's crown on Charles' big day. It's reportedly the first time in recent history that an existing crown will be used during the Coronation of a Queen Consort. In the past, a new crown had been made for the occasion. We can't wait to see what members of the royal family will wear for the coronation!
