Ammon News - A lavish new Robe of Estate, decorated with bees, a beetle and flowers, has been made for the Queen Consort to wear after her coronation.

Only small glimpses have been released, ensuring the whole ensemble remains under wraps until the big day.

Announcements have also been made about traditional languages forming part of the coronation service, and multi-faith elements, too.

A Robe of Estate is a long velvet garment worn by a British monarch after their coronation.

Camilla's is embroidered in goldwork threads, drawing on themes of nature and the environment.

It has been hand embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, of which the Queen Consort is patron.

Incorporating delphiniums, it pays tribute to one of the King's favourite flowers. It is also Camilla's birth month flower.

It references the late Queen, too, by including her favourite bloom, the lily of the valley.

Camilla will wear the grand garment, which also includes her cypher, for her departure from Westminster Abbey.

King Charles will wear his grandfather George VI's Robes of State and Estate from the coronation in 1937, which are almost 90 years old.

They have been conserved and prepared for the occasion.

A Robe of State is worn by a British monarch on state occasions, such as during the State Opening of Parliament.

Robes of State are crimson while Robes of Estate are purple.

Camilla's Robe of State, to be worn on her arrival at Westminster Abbey, is the one made for the Queen's coronation in 1953.

It has been conserved - with adjustments - and has a 5.5 metre train.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "For the first time, insects including bees and a beetle feature on the Coronation Robe, drawing on the themes of nature and the environment and reflecting their Majesties' affection for the natural world."

There are also national emblems - the rose, thistle and shamrock.
