About this deal

westlondonretiree Great slippers Love these slippers and have been buying them for years. They are comfortable and wear well and can be machine washed. Sabretilly18 Perfect slippers I buy these ballerina slippers every year as they are always a perfect fit & so comfortable I confess to tearfulness when Charles, now in a plain linen shirt, knelt before the altar; and later on, as he put his arms into his gold robe, there was something so tender in the manner of the churchmen who dressed him. The king’s studied helplessness was peculiarly moving; in that moment, he had an invalid quality, a feeling that he was moving beyond something – though what that something might be, precisely, I cannot say. His face was almost plangent. He left the smiles to Camilla, and in so doing, made the moment when his son kissed him a fully sentimental one, his quiet “Thank you, William” his only real display of emotion. By now, I think I was – perhaps we were all – a bit agog. I looked up, and saw my neighbour across the street open the door to a man from Deliveroo, and it was the strangest thing. How could these two events be happening at once? The whole thing – save for the court shoes, which looked comfortable enough to be from the Portsmouth Marks & Spencer – was very Game of Thrones, an impression only added to by the fact that in front of her she carried the sword of state, which is 4ft long and weighs eight pounds. She never wobbled for a moment. Beneath her teal wool and embroidered ferns, Mordaunt clearly has a core of iron, and one wonders all over again why she did not win the celebrity swimming show, Splash! (though she really knows how to make one). No wonder the Archbishop of Canterbury sounded so tremulous, and the Archbishop of York, so unctuous.

A drum horse called Apollo would not behave, skittering sideways determinedly. But in the diamond jubilee state coach – this one comes with both suspension and air conditioning – the queen’s hands were folded calmly in her lap. In their white ermine capes, cosy together on their quilted bench, their majesties looked like a couple of elderly polar bears on tour. Their hard-won, second-chance coupledom had never been to me more gently touching, every bit as much a symbol of 21st-century Britain as the sound of a gospel choir, or a Hindu prime minister reading from the Epistle to the Colossians (Rishi Sunak placed special emphasis on the words “being fruitful in every good work”, though one doubts they were much of a balm to a soul lately bruised by the loss of Surrey Heath and Welwyn Hatfield). From candles and coins to children’s clothes, memorabilia galore is being released in preparation for the Coronation of King Charles III today. left to right 1st row) the Prince of Wales, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, the Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh at the coronation ceremony.

Shortarce Lovely slippers These slippers are the best, they are lovely and comfortable, true to size. I also like them as they are washable too. And on Wednesday, the Palace conceded to its aristocratic critics, informing them that they would be able to wear their coronation robes after all. “A royal source confirmed there had been a change of heart,” reports the Telegraph. The casual revolution has touched nearly every part of public life, but ultimately, hierarchy would seem to have won out at an event that is, fittingly, all about the continuity of hierarchy. None of this, though, could detract from the heart of the ceremony; its symbolism and its glory had even the arch cynics of social media straining for superlatives. People talk, pejoratively, of soggy Anglicanism. But on Saturday, its damp embrace was just the thing, and not only because of the weather. Only a stone-hearted person could fail to have been moved by the multifaith parts of the service, and if you felt nothing when the choir sang Handel’s Zadok the Priest at the king’s anointment, you are either an algorithm or half dead. I confess to tearfulness when Charles, now in a plain linen shirt, knelt before the altar The county benefited from a plentiful supply of oak bark and water for tanning, plenty of leather from cattle markets and a central location for trading with the rest of the country. He’s in context now. The past and the future, history woven through him. Even the most ardent republican must find it astonishing, in its way, that the coronation chair, commissioned by Edward I, has been the centrepiece of this ceremony for 700 years; that the St Edward’s crown was made for Charles II; that the imperial state crown (the second that the king wore) contains a ruby that Henry V is supposed to have worn at Agincourt.

PollyJ Didn’t like Disappointed with these slippers, one fit one was too big, the front of the slippers are long and square at the toe making them look old fashioned It was worn by several Queen consorts during their coronations; Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother, in 1937.

Seed Pantry King Charles III Coronation Seed Kit, £28

While robes, jewels, and crowns are a big part of King Charles's coronation wardrobe, there's one detail that shouldn't be overlooked: his shoes.

Charles is a strong supporter and patron of traditional British craftsmanship, which will figure into the rest of his coronation wardrobe. Along with his Navy duds, the King will be wearing a silk undershirt by the Royal Warrant-holding shirtmakers at Turnbull & Asser, and opera slippers by Gaziano & Girling of Savile Row. Charles also speaks passionately of his love for repairing garments rather than replacing them, a practice that exemplifies his advocacy for ecological responsibility. At Prince Harry and Markle’s wedding, for example, he wore an Anderson & Sheppard morning suit he had made in 1984. Unlike many of his predecessors, who had new royal robes made for their coronations, Charles will be shopping his closet, in a sense: the Supertunica was originally created for King George V, and he will be reusing a royal sword belt and glove of ceremonial significance that belonged to his grandfather. According to Caroline de Guitaut, the deputy surveyor of the King's Works of Art at the Royal Collection Trust, “It was the King's personal decision” to reuse these items, as she told the BBC. Britain’s fashion brands have gone above and beyond to create timeless, fun and quirky pieces that you really will want to keep beyond the day (and not just because coronation memorabilia like tea tins and mugs from Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation are now considered vintage treasures).
