Queen Camilla Wore a Feathered Cap to King Charles' Coronation Celebration in Scotland

The Queen opted for ceremonial garb rather than her heavily embellished coronation gown for the uniquely Scottish festivities

Queen Camilla honored Scotland at the country's celebration of the coronation.

On Wednesday, the Queen stepped out in Edinburgh with King Charles for special festivities organized by the Scottish government in honor of their May 6 crowning in London.

Queen Camilla, 75, donned the Order of the Thistle robes — including the star and collar, which previously belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth. But perhaps the most head-turning piece of her outfit was her velvet hat featuring a towering white feather.

It is the first time the Queen has been seen in her Thistle robes since her appointment to the Order on June 16. The Order of the Thistle is the greatest order of chivalry in Scotland.

Underneath her robes, Camilla wore a long white dress by Bruce Oldfield, the same designer who created her gown for the Coronation in London on May 6.

Charles, 74, also wore the Order of the Thistle robes in deep navy, as did Prince William, since they are all members of the Order. However, the men did not wear their feathered hats for the ceremony.

Kate Middleton and Prince William also traveled north for the National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication at St. Giles’ Cathedral, and the Princess of Wales (who is called the Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland!) wore a recycled royal blue coat by Catherine Walker featuring a velvet collar.

She paired the coat with a blue Philip Treacy hat and also wore a pearl choker necklace from the late Queen Elizabeth's collection.

Queen Camilla’s latest look was a little bit different from what she wore to the crowning ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

On May 6, Queen Camilla wore a white long-sleeve gown by Bruce Oldfield with delicate ivory, silver and gold floral embellishments. Stitched with symbolism like the Norman Hartnell ensemble Queen Elizabeth wore for her coronation in 1953, Camilla’s crowning gown was also embroidered with her two rescue dogs Beth and Bluebell, her children’s names and her royal cypher.

Seventy years ago, Queen Elizabeth also went with something less formal for the Scottish coronation celebration. On June 24, 1953, the young Queen made her first official visit to Scotland as sovereign for a similar ritual, arriving to “huge fanfare” with Prince Philip, Scotland magazine reported. She wore a skirt suit with a feathered fascinator and pinned on what looks like the Sapphire Chrysanthemum Brooch.

According to The Court Jeweller, the brooch became associated with her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh after she wore it for a photo shoot during their honeymoon in November 1947. Decades later, she poignantly pinned it on for her 2021 Christmas address, the first Christmas after his death that April.

Prince Philip was by his wife’s side for her Scottish coronation celebration in 1953 and sported a field marshal's uniform. Just like for the celebration today, the Honours of Scotland — the country's crown jewels— were ceremoniously processed from the Palace of the Holyroodhouse to St. Giles’ Cathedral, the royal family website states. Inside the cathedral, Queen Elizabeth was presented with the King James V of Scotland’s crown, sceptre and sword, a ritual repeated for King Charles today.

When the government of Scotland announced the Edinburgh festivities in June, the statement hinted that the presentation of the Honours of Scotland inside St. Giles would only involve Charles.

Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay will also attend events.”

Meanwhile, the May coronation at Westminster Abbey shined a bright spotlight on Queen Camilla, from her family’s involvement in the church service to her meaningful moment of crowning.
