Both garments are in the Royal Collection and are on public display at the Tower of London. The Supertunica is worn under the Imperial Mantle. The Supertunica is inspired by the vestments of the early Church and the Byzantine Empire and is adorned with the national symbols of the home nations. However, the King has decided to reuse the one made for King George VI in 1937.Ĭonservation work has been carried out by the Royal School of Needlework. The belt is traditionally presented by the Worshipful Company of Girdlers, one of the livery companies of the City of London, for each coronation. Its gold buckle is chased and engraved with the national emblems. The sword belt, fastened on top, is also made of cloth of gold and embroidered with a similar design to the Supertunica. The full-length, sleeved coat of gold silk was made for the Coronation of King George V in 1911 and was worn by King George VI in May 1937 and the late Queen in 1953. The late Queen’s Colobium Sindonis was a voluminous white linen pleated dress, worn over the coronation dress, and was also designed by Hartnell. “These are robes that have clearly incredible historic significance, but they’re also significant because of their sacred nature, used during the investiture part of the coronation ceremony.” Ms de Guitaut, who has helped to prepare the garments for the ceremony, added: “These are really the most important historic textiles in the Royal Collection and they have a very great history associated with them, having been worn at several coronations, both in the 19th and the 20th century. And I suppose it’s also reflecting back to the coronation of his grandfather, King George VI,” she said. “After all, they are in remarkable condition. The King’s decision to reuse these garments, which were made for George VI’s 1937 coronation, was in the interest of “sustainability and efficiency”, Buckingham Palace said.Ĭaroline de Guitaut, deputy surveyor of the King’s works of art at the Royal Collection Trust, said the monarch’s choice to recycle certain garments had been “his personal decision”. Although it is customary for the Supertunica and the Imperial Mantle to be reused, the King has opted to reuse his grandfather George VI’s Colobium Sindonis, a simple white tunic that is put on immediately after the anointing, as well as his Coronation Sword Belt and white Coronation Glove.
