Johan - I'm guessing and could easily be wrong. I'm guessing they will both go for "recycling" (for their robes that require trainbearers) thinking of sustainability and difficult times econonmically to avoid expenses that could be criticised heavily.
On arrival I expect to see the KIng wearing a "recycled" crimson parliamentary robe which he would use for the rest of his reign.
Some months back an idea was floated that he might wear the uniform of an Admiral instead of the traditional breeches. We have to wait to see. I go into some detail at this link .
If they keep to tradition the Queen will arrive bareheaded and wearing her purple robe, "recycled" as I have suggested. A Queen Consort wears her purple robe throughout the event and does not have any changes of attire.
After the Recess both appear for the Procession in their purple and the King in his full uniform.
