Queen Consort Camilla made a resplendent appearance in a Bruce Oldfield couture gown for the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, and it appears there was more to the custom gown than meets the eye.
Along with stunning embellishments featuring delicate garlands of abstract wildflowers from fields and hedgerows, and the four flower emblems of the United Kingdom, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Camilla had also paid a subtle tribute to her family by embroidering the names of her children and grandchildren discretely near the bottom of her skirt.

Fashion fans also spotted that the bottom of Camilla's dress featured two gold terrier pups. They're thought to represent Beth and Bluebell – Charles and Camilla's rescue dogs from Battersea Dogs' and Cats' Home. The royals adopted them in 2017.

With an ivory, silver and gold colour palette, bracelet length sleeves, a strong shoulder and a wide V-neck neckline – it gave Camilla a regal silhouette for the historic ceremony.

As well as featuring a sweet family tribute, the couture dress also reflected the King and Queen Consort’s affection for nature and the British countryside, and had celebratory bunting, in antique gold and silver thread, embroidered amongst swathes of wildflowers, including daisy chains, forget-me-nots, celandine and scarlet pimpernel.

The hidden names on Camilla's dress were one of many key details that viewers may have missed at the King and Queen's Coronation ceremony, and is another way that the Queen Consort ensured to give her own family a starring role in the historic event.
