They didn’t mention peeresses, I wonder if the wife of a robed peer would be wearing a robe herself. And if so, would she be in evening wear underneath, because it would look horrible with daywear. Previous Message Hurrah! https://archive.is/WMSR0

Not sure if there is a peeress in her own right. It's the peeresses I'd like to see with their coronet inside their tiara, as in days of yore! Coronet inside tiara -

Previous Message seriously? we have to wait and see untill saturday You could be right. There could be a few surprises on the day. For the King, the Stole was not mentioned in the announcement of vestments to be worn - nor shown in the video - but it is mentioned in the Liturgy.

Probably for the last time. I think some of the peers / aristocrats like Earl/Lord Carnarvon are making themselves quite ridiculous at this point wining publicly they have not been invited and basically wanting to relive the gilded days of 1953 and 1937. Meanwhile the daytime dresscode(s) seem(s) a bit of a nightmare for many of the invitees. Princess Anne sounded so happy she could stop worrying about her dress and wear a uniform! Hilarious.
