There is one practical reason i can think of: the mantle has been altered since the kings wore it. Uniforms have epaulettes and the mantle may not fit over them properly. Im curious to see what WA will look like with the robe anyway. He is much taller than any of his predecessors. I don't think he'll need 4 attendants to keep it of the floor, im rather afraid the mantle will hardly reach the floor once it's put on the new king's shoulders.......... --Previous Message-- : I wonder why the new king would not wear one : of his uniforms?
