King Charles III Coronation: What kings wore from Tudor times to now

It is now only days until the Coronation of King Charles III, and the outfit he will be wearing has finally been announced. The King will be dressed in layers of glittering robes, including a shimmering gold-sleeved coat called the Supertunica for the crowning. The robe was made for George V in 1911, and has been worn in every coronation since, including that of Elizabeth II. On top of the Supertunica will be a floor-length cloak named the Imperial Mantle, or Robe Royal, which was made for George IV in 1821. Read more at BBC.
