1953 Coronation Fashion


In 1953, during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, female onlookers were expected to wear veils as a sign of respect and reverence for the occasion. The wearing of veils has long been a tradition during religious and formal ceremonies, and the coronation was seen as both. It was considered appropriate for women to cover their heads and shoulders as a mark of respect for the monarch and the solemnity of the occasion.


The wearing of veils also had historical and cultural significance. In the past, women of high status would wear veils as a sign of their modesty and purity. During royal and religious ceremonies, veils were worn as a symbol of submission to God or the monarch. The tradition of wearing veils during a coronation dates back to the medieval period, when the anointing of the monarch was seen as a religious ceremony.


Wearing of veils during the 1953 coronation was a way for onlookers to show respect for the occasion, acknowledge the historical and cultural significance of the event, and participate in a longstanding tradition. Do you think Charles will require female onlookers to wear veils, or do you think he will modernize the coronation and ignore tradition?

He absolutely must modernize the ceremony and get the veils completely out of the program! I say: off with the veils! He has a lot of necessary modernization to navigate, and I hope he and his advisors can deeply preserve the beauty and splendor of royal tradition without keeping intact outmoded aspects of the royal pomp and ceremony!
