Buckingham Palace has published fresh photos of the King and Queen Consort in the royal residence’s Blue Drawing Room ahead of the Coronation. The royal couple’s attire is as painstakingly coordinated as ever in photographer Hugo Burnand’s images who was commissioned for the couple’s wedding pictures in 2005.

But in a refreshing break from tradition, Buckingham Palace revealed details about the Windsors’ clothes and jewelry. If you can recall – in June 2022, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unveiled their first official photograph together, yet Kate’s Vampire’s Wife Falconetti dress wasn’t mentioned. This time while the Queen Consort went for a blue wool crepe coat dress by British couturier Fiona Clare, Charles opted for a suit by Anderson & Sheppard and a shirt from royal suppliers Turnbull & Asser. She accessorized the ensemble with a pair of late Queen Elizabeth II’s earrings as a symbolic move.
In the first picture, the pair is seen standing next to a painted portrait of King George V. The other two images depict Charles reclining on King George IV’s 1829 silk armchair and Camilla in an earlier 1812 silk long-seated armchair.
