Received official recognition after 18 years of marriage
Middleton wears Diana’s earrings
At the coronation ceremony of King Charles III of England on the 6th, British royal women such as Queen Camilla (76) and Princess Kate Middleton (41) received as much attention as the king. Camilla and Middleton Bean wore clothes created by British designers Bruce Oldfield and Alexander McQueen, respectively, and were adorned with colorful jewelry.
Various jewels used in the coronation ceremony of Charles III are also of interest. He showed off the dignity of the British royal family to the world by wearing a cross, a royal scepter, an orb, rings, and various swords that symbolize the monarch’s authority, dignity, mercy, and responsibility.
According to the New York Times (NYT), Camilla wore a white silk dress made by British designer Oldfield. Oldfield has regularly made clothes for royal women, including Sophie Rhys-Jones, wife of Prince Edward, Charles III’s younger brother, and Princess Diana, Charles III’s first wife.
Camilla B’s dress was embroidered with wild flowers symbolizing her love for nature. In addition, all embroidered flowers symbolizing the four regions that make up the United Kingdom, including roses (England), thistles (Scotland), daffodils (Wales), and shamrocks (Northern Ireland), are included. He wore a 25-diamond necklace and earrings made in the 19th century during the reign of Queen Victoria. Her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, had used this jewel for her prior to her at her own coronation in 1953.
Camilla married the then Crown Prince, Charles III, in 2005. Even after her marriage, she was only referred to as the ‘Duchess of Cornwall’ instead of the Crown Princess because of the stigma of ‘her cheater’. The royal family unveiled her coronation invitation at the end of last month, and she first addressed him as “Queen.” After 18 years of marriage, she was officially recognized as the King’s consort.
Camilla Bee was born in London in 1947 to a commoner father and a mother who was the daughter of a baron. From her well-to-do background, she enjoyed aristocratic hobbies such as horseback riding and polo. She met King Charles III at a polo match in 1970 and their relationship began, but she grew distant when Charles III joined the army in 1973. In the same year, he married Andrew Parker Bowles, a major in the Royal Cavalry, and they had two children.
However, after Charles III married Diana Bean in 1981, their affair began in earnest. Diana Bean created a stir in a BBC interview in 1995, saying, “Our marriage was complicated because there were three of us.” She divorced King Charles III in 1996 and died a year later in a car accident in Paris, France. The marriage of Charles III and Camilla, which took place eight years later, was met with national disapproval. However, after her marriage, Camillabi was shown to melt into her royal family, and her negative public opinion was somewhat reduced.
Duchess Kate Middleton, wife of Charles III’s eldest son, Prince William, also wore a red and blue formal dress over white by British designer Alexander McQueen. London = AP NewsisMiddleton Bean again chose McQueen, the designer who made her 2011 wedding outfit. He wore a formal formal dress in a gorgeous combination of blue and red over a white McQueen dress. It is said that the colors he chose are white, red, and blue, reminiscent of the national flag ‘Union Jack’. Middleton Bean wore pearl and diamond earrings worn by Diana Bean, and a festoon necklace that Queen Elizabeth II received from her father, King George VI. His daughter, Princess Charlotte, 8, also wore McQueen’s clothing.
Dr. Benjamin Wilde, a royal costume expert, gave meaning to the fact that none of the members of the royal family, except for the royal couple, wore crowns at the event. He commented on the NYT as “an effort to modernize the monarchy.”
