There have been several questions raised about certain events that will take place in the reign of Charles III. Firstly, will he be called Charles III or will he go with George VIII or Edward IX? Will Camilla be Queen or Princess Consort? But, for this thread let's assume that Charles and Camilla are Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The Coronation Charles has already said that he won't wear the grand robes worn by his predeccesors. He wishes to wear his uniform as Admiral of the Fleet, with a mantle and St Edward's Crown. Elizabeth II wore this; ![]() and ![]() So Charles will have downsized his outfit a fair bit, making it more masculine as far as I can see. What will Camilla wear? Well, she has a choice unlike Charles. It's been the tradition for the Queen Consort to wear white at her coronation. So, she'll most likely wear a long white gown with any Orders and Decorations, a mantle and a crown. But which one? On the left is Queen Mary's Crown and on the right Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother's; ![]() And she could wear either of them. She could also wear a small crown worn by Queen Victoria (and I believe Queen Alexandra at her coronation) ; ![]() or; ![]() Trooping the Colour By the time they take the reigns, let's imagine Camilla is a Colonel-in-Chief. That means she'll have a uniform and could ride in the procession just as Princess Anne does leaving the older members such as Princess Alexandra to ride in a carriage. It hasn't been done before as far as I know, but what do you think? The State Opening of Parliament Well, Charles would probably wear what he wore at his Coronation with the Imperial State Crown instead of St Edwards. I imagine Camilla will also wear what she wore at her Coronation. What do you think they'll wear? How will Charles and Camilla behave as Monarchs? What will life be like under Charles and Camilla? How will the Royal Family change? How will the older members adapt as they grow older?
