In his attempt to modernize the rite, the monarch will recycle some of the traditional garments from the ceremony of his predecessors.
He will wear a nine-pound robe embroidered with gold silk and the Imperial Mantle, which was made for King George IV, and the gloves of his grandfather George VI.
Carlos III did not ask for a new crown either.
He is going to be invested with the traditional crown of Saint Edward, but he will leave Westminster Abbey with the imperial crown, as described by the protocol expert.
Throughout his principality, Carlos III was recognized as an icon of men's fashion.
The pearl gray suit that he usually wears for events and the way of wearing the
kilt
, the traditional Scottish clothing, during the summers became hallmarks of the style of the son of Elizabeth II.
“Donning this military uniform and breaking with the centuries-old tradition of bloomers with silk stockings requires knowledge and confidence in his personal brand.
The masculine label does not allow launching as many messages as the feminine one, but you can expect authenticity from the new Carolina era”, concludes Fernández.
