Platinum Jubilee: The Queen’s Coronation
Visitors to Windsor Castle will have the rare chance to see, up close, the Queen’s Coronation Dress and the Robe of Estate that she wore for her coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953.
While it was one of the world’s first major events to be broadcast internationally, the chance to see these two garments is rare, making it an exhibition that you don’t want to miss.
The Coronation Dress is made with fine white Duchesse satin and embellished with gold and silver threading, seed pearls, sequins and crystals. Her Majesty's Robe of Estate—which took around 3,500 hours to make—is equally awe-inspiring with rich gold embroidery and motifs.
Items Displayed at Platinum Jubilee: The Queen’s Coronation
The Coronation Dress
Designed by British courtier Sir Norman Hartnell, the white gown is short-sleeved with a sweetheart neckline and a wide skirt adorned with crystals, silver and pearls that depict the national emblems of Great Britain and other commonwealth nations.
The Coronation Robe
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee exhibition displays Her Majesty's Robe of Estate. This coronation robe, by the royal robe-makers Ede and Ravenscroft, was made with deep purple silk velvet with ermine on the edges and embroidered with gold threads. The intricate design features wheat ears and olive branches and is monogrammed with a crowned EIIR.
