The coronation<\/a> of King Charles III, set to take place on May 6<\/a>, is just around the corner. And though many are preoccupied with the guest list, we’re mostly interested in one thing: the outfits.<\/p>\n

A momentous occasion for the royal family, the ceremony will mark Charles, the former Prince of Wales’ ascension to the throne following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II<\/a>. Being a significant event, notable figures from all around the world will gather to observe his official coronation.<\/p>\n

As with any royal affair, attire is of the utmost importance, particularly for a historical event like this that is steeped in politics. This year, however, is already breaking tradition for its dress code<\/a>, with requests from Buckingham Palace calling for a more toned-down approach.<\/p>\n

In the past, it’s been customary for members of the British aristocracy to wear specific robes that are red and feature ermine fur trims. Dukes, coronets and discounts are also Coronets have also been expected to wear ceremonial attire according to titles and peerage. But as recent reports have revealed, the royal family has requested guests \u201cdress down\u201d for the coronation, switching out their formal robes for “standard business attire.”<\/p>\n

While this would be a departure from how past coronations have worked since the 15th century, the change has been made to respond to the ongoing cost of living crisis. To avoid excessive displays of wealth in light of the public’s changing attitudes towards the monarchy, outfits must “match the atmosphere of the pared-back ceremony.”<\/p>\n

But of course, since the news came out that Meghan Markle will not be in attendance<\/a> due to ongoing conflicts with the rest of the royal family and the coronation date coinciding with Archie’s birthday<\/a>, all eyes will be on Kate Middleton<\/a> \u2014 and the Princess may have just given us a major clue as to what she’ll be wearing.<\/p>\n

What will Kate Middleton wear to the coronation?<\/h1>\n

During a trip to Birmingham, England, with her husband, Prince William, Middleton spoke to ITV host Alison Hammond<\/a> about the upcoming coronation and gave her an insight into the look she’s chosen.<\/p>\n

Recalling the pair\u2019s conversation, the presenter said she asked the princess what she planned to wear to the highly-anticipated ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said to her, \u2018I\u2019m feeling like you\u2019re gonna wear blue,’\u201d she told the princess.\u00a0\u201cShe was like, \u2018There is a hint of blue,\u2019 Hammond recalled.<\/p>\n

As any keen follower of the royal’s style will know, blue is a go-to hue for Middleton. And if our instincts are correct, we suspect that the look will pair perfectly with the sapphire jewels handed down from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42672,"featured_media":75523,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17,16],"yoast_head":"\nWhat Is the Dress Code for King Charles' Coronation?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For the coronation of King Charles, guests are set to wear their best attire.
