People around the world eagerly awaited to see what the Princess of Wales wore to her father-in-law’s Coronation. The streets were lined with cheering crowds, and the atmosphere was electric as everyone prepared to witness the historic event.

As the Princess stepped out of her carriage, all eyes were on her. She looked absolutely stunning in her ivory Alexander McQueen dress, which was expertly crafted to accentuate her natural beauty. The dress was adorned with exquisite three-dimensional leaf embroidery, created with silver bullion, crystal, and silver thread work. It was a true work of art, fit for a princess.

To complete her regal look, the Princess wore a matching Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen Headpiece. The headpiece was adorned with the same intricate embroidery as her dress and was the perfect accessory to complete her outfit. It was a true statement piece, and it drew all eyes to the Princess as she made her way down the aisle.

As a nod to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, Kate wore earrings King Charles gave Diana in 1981 ahead of their wedding. The earrings were made from white gold and featured a stunning pear-shaped diamond in the center, surrounded by smaller round diamonds.

As she walked, the Princess’s dress caught the light, and the four flowers of the home nations – the English rose, the Scottish thistle, the Welsh daffodil, and the Irish shamrock – glinted in the rain. The flowers had been expertly embroidered onto the dress, each one a symbol of the unity of the United Kingdom.

The Princess’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, also looked adorable in her matching dress, which was made from the same ivory fabric and embroidered with the same flowers as her mother’s. The young Princess was beaming with pride as she walked alongside her mother.

The coronation ceremony was a true spectacle, and the Princess of Wales looked every bit the radiant and regal princess that she is. Her dress and headpiece were the perfect choice for the occasion, and they showcased her impeccable taste and style.

As the ceremony came to a close, the Princess and her daughter left the church, with Princes William and Louis, greeted by the cheers of the crowds. Her eldest son, Prince George, assisted the King as a Page Boy.
