Which robes?
Last century the three Queens Consort had six trainbearers at their coronations. So news of just four for Queen Camilla makes me wonder just which robe she might wear on 6 May.
Traditionally the Queen Consort wears just the one purple robe throughout the entire coronation ceremony. but which might it be?
I had been expecting some recycling in the interests of sustainability and need for economic restraint.
