While the secret of the outfit selected for the Queen during the ceremony is kept secret by Buckingham, our colleagues from the British press have revealed a particular detail.
Irony of fate or deliberate choice? This Saturday, May 6, 2023, Camilla Parker Bowles is getting ready to wear a dress by Bruce Oldfield, one of Princess Diana’s favorite designers, whose dresses he designed for her contributed greatly to her fame. The information was revealed by our colleagues from Guardian while Buckingham tried, somehow, to keep the outfit selected for the coronation of King Charles III a secret.
On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his brand, the favorite couturier of Queen Camilla’s predecessor has agreed to design the sovereign’s dress during this historic event for the United Kingdom. As reported by our colleagues from BFM TVBruce Oldfield became famous in the 1980s thanks in particular to his original creations for Princess Diana. “He developed his style, his aesthetic by working with Diana” who was his “muse”explains to our colleagues Miranda Holder, expert in royal fashion.

The mystery of the dress
Should we see a kind of revenge against Princess Diana in the choice of Queen Camilla? Not really when you know the affection that the wife of King Charles III has for the famous designer. In effect, Bruce Odfield is not in his test outfit made for the crowned head who has already used his services on several occasions in the past. The craftsman has already signed the dress worn by Camilla Parker Bowles during the royal couple’s first state visit to Germany last March.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Queen Camilla would turn to a designer whose work she appreciates and whom she trusts to entrust him with the daunting task of designing the most important dress of her life. “This dress will define her. It will go down in history”, underlines Miranda Holder with our colleagues. If the name of the designer who is about to go down in history has leaked, the mystery concerning the model of the dress worn by Queen Camilla during the coronation of King Charles III remains intact.

However, it is a safe bet that this one is less sumptuous than that worn in 1953 by Queen Elizabeth II, the royal couple calling for restraint while the British people are hit by high inflation. While the predictions are going well concerning the colors and the model of the dress chosen by the queen, all expect many symbols honoring the countries of the Commonwealth.
