​Four Pages of Honour for Queen Camilla

  
The Palace has announced that Queen Camilla will be assisted by four Pages of Honour at the coronation.  

Three will be her grandsons, twins Gus and Louis Lopes, and Freddy Parker Bowles, all age 13, and  the fourth will be her great-nephew, Arthur Elliot age 10.

The boys will wear a scarlet frock coat with gold trimmings, a white satin waistcoat, white breeches and hose, white gloves, black buckled shoes and a lace cravat and ruffles.

Re: ​Four Pages of Honour for Queen Camilla

  
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.
