Royal Robes Are A Thing Of The Past
Reason: Senior Royal Family members changed protocol
Exception: None
Coronation clothes have always served a priestly purpose. According to Historical UK, the robes represent the “divine nature” of being a monarch. However, according to the revised convention, royal robes will no longer be required for coronation rituals beginning in 2023. The majority of the Royals donned suits at the coronation in 2023, which marked a significant shift in protocol. According to news reports, “senior members” of the Royal Family agreed it was time to update the etiquette.
Always Dress Diplomatically When Visiting Foreign Countries
Reason: To show respect for another country’s cultures/traditions
Exception: Attending a funeral
When a member of the Royal Family makes a State visit to another nation or country, they must dress diplomatically. This entails adopting elements and symbols of the other country’s culture, religion, and customs. Colors, jewelry, and designs are all carefully chosen to flatter the other country and demonstrate the Royal Family’s desire to participate in their customs. Furthermore, as the old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
