If she attends I am reasonably sure she will be loaned a tiara, perhaps her wedding tiara again. Receiving the order will depend on whether Charles views it as a badge of being a lady in the House, or whether he views it as a badge commemorating service to the crown as his mother did. If it’s the latter, Meghan might not qualify as she isn’t a working royal. Queen Elizabeth as we know made royal ladies wait a few years before granting them the badge. Perhaps Charles will follow suit. I wonder what color Charles will choose for his badge. I don’t think violet has been used yet. Previous Message I wonder if Meghan attends the coronation, will she wear a tiara and given the house order of King Charles III?

I think it would look nice if King Charles choose the same blue ribbon as the sash of the Order of the Garter... this would also be in line with how the Scandinavian royal women's portrait ribbons are...

Family order ribbon

Why was the Family order of King Edward VII with a blue, yellow and red striped ribbon? It differs from his predecessor and successo.

Sarah, Duchess of York

Posted by JohnPete on October 18, 2022, 4:22 pm, in reply to "The Duchess of Sussex"

I wonder if Sarah, Duchess of York would be invited or not. I don’t think Charles is fond of her, and I don’t think there’s a precedent for a divorced former family member to attend. But no doubt if she did attend, she’d wear her wedding tiara again after a long time. If she doesn’t get invited, she could lend the tiara to Beatrice or Eugenie.

JohnPete, Do you think the tiaras worn at the Coronation will reflect the what the Queen gave people in her will? If Princess Eugenie wears the Greville Emerald tiara, do you think it might be because it is now hers? Previous Message I wonder if Sarah, Duchess of York would be invited or not.

Daywear (hats and pearls) at the coronation

Posted by JohnPete on October 19, 2022, 3:02 am, in reply to "Re: Sarah, Duchess of York"

I’d be speechless and in shock if that’s what we see the royal and noble ladies wear. Good heavens, I hope not!! Previous Message Of course, it's more than possible that no tiaras will be worn. The dress code might be similar to that of Royal Ascot, or an upper crust British wedding. With the addition of medals maybe.

It might, but we’d never really know for sure right? Because they probably wouldn’t release that information to the public. I think it would be great if Bea and Eug got tiaras from granny, but HM was. sensible woman who knows that the two Yorks wouldn’t have anywhere to wear them to.

Queen's legacy

Posted by Johan on October 19, 2022, 1:29 pm, in reply to "Re: Sarah, Duchess of York"

I think HM will have learned from her grandmother's choice to divide jewels between the various children. A generation later at least the Duke of Kent sold most of his inherited jewels and within a generation most of the Gloucester jewels will be sold as well. So my best guess is that HM left most of her jewels to King Charles III with maybe a provision that certain pieces should be life loans to particular members of the Royal Family. That would mean each lady would have her own pieces to wear, but they would not be able to sell it as it still belongs to the Sovereign.

It would make shambles of the coronation. I do hope they'll retain tiara's and full gala splendour for the Royal Family and the lords/ladies as well as the foreign royals. Im not expecting all members of the King's family to be part of the coronation though. If the Sussexes don't return to the Royal fold there is no reason for them to attend, neither will the Duke of York and his ex-wife be needed. Im not even sure the children of the Princess Royal will play a role in the coronation. If they do it will be down to their close relationship to the King and the Prince of Wales rather than to their position.

I think green would also be a very nice choice. With the new King's interest in the environment and nature it could be a fitting colour, and I don't think it has been used before either.

I doubt the late Queen left any of the mayor pieces in her private collection to her grandchildren. From what I understand inheritance tax is still very high in the UK and leaving such valuable pieces to her grandchildren would perhaps put a strain on their economy forcing them to having to sell these items instead of maybe being allowed to borrow them from time to time when the occasion calls for it (like hopefully the Coronation will be). But I guess time will tell. Previous Message JohnPete, Do you think the tiaras worn at the Coronation will reflect the what the Queen gave people in her will?
