Secrets in QEII’s coronation gown embroidery?? 🧵
Not me JUST learning that Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation gown wasn’t actually white and gold… 🫣
The embroidery actually included a full palette of soft pastels (pink, green, yellow, and blue!) to create symbolic motifs from across the Commonwealth. 🧵 And now, those same colors have inspired a new Royal Collection Trust chinaware collection for her 100th birthday.
There’s always something new to uncover, even with the most iconic royal pieces and personalities. Let’s dive into the gown’s hidden details and how they’re being brought back into the limelight today.
