Surely no robes aside from King and Queen? Imagine the nightmare of all those robes been taken from the mothballs and glass displays across the country: expensive repairs, alterations... let alone those silly (fake) coronets. I have seen some of the Ducal cheap gilded coronets up close: believe me those do not look good on anybody in 2023..... It would make the whole medieval ceremony more of a spectacle than it already is.
Will they be worn?
In the unusual circumstance that Sarah is allowed to attend with her companion/ex-husband, I would imagine she would have to wear just an evening gown with her wedding tiara and no robe and coronet, with the diamond demi-parure that Elizabeth and Philip bought for her. Sarah is neither a Princess of The UK & NI, nor a Peeress, so she wouldn’t qualify to wear the robe and coronet of either. Still, it will be nice to see her Edwardian wedding tiara see the light of day again, if Charles III see fit to allow her to attend with her family.
I think she will. If Charles and Camilla invited her for the family Christmas celebrations at Sandringham i think it's likely she'll sit with Andrew and their daughters. So she will probably wear her own tiara and Beatrice and Eugenie need tiara's. I don't know what Queen Elizabeth did with her personal jewels though i find it a safe bet to assume they were left to Charles. That would not exclude her giving the right to use some of them to her granddaughters. At the same time both of them seem to have enough money to be able to buy something for themselves.
I wonder if Sarah, Duchess of York might attend the coronation...
