Are you celebrating a special occasion? It was Henry VIII who first realised the potential of fashion as a political tool. His father, Henry VII, had won the throne by defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, the culmination of the bitter Wars of the Roses, and as such Henry VIII was "still very keen to stress the legitimacy of the Tudor's right to rule. If you're at the top you need to assert that visually, and he marked out particular textiles as being exclusively royal," historian Maria Hayward, an expert on Tudor and Stuart fashion, tells BBC Culture. These were cloth of gold, the colour purple and sable fur, although they would have been reserved for special occasions. So many of the items Charles will wear and carry have been used in coronation ceremonies of kings and queens before him, including his mother Queen Elizabeth II and grandfather King George VI.

His keen interest in fashion extended to the Tudor and Stuart inspired outfit he designed for his coronation, the most extravagant in British history. It included a coronation mantle made of red velvet, lined with ermine, and ornately embroidered which was so enormously heavy it took eight train bearers to carry it. Unfortunately for George IV he had to wear it during a heatwave in July. "The whole ensemble almost caused him to faint and apparently he used 19 handkerchiefs during the homage alone," says Reynolds. The vestments Charles will wear were also used during the coronation ceremonies of King George IV in 1821, King George V in 1911, King George VI in 1937 and Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.When it comes to the Hanoverians, their contrasting, conflicting personalities are most certainly evidenced in their dress sense.
