Dazzling Kate Middleton ditches tiara and has to hitch up Coronation dress due to rain

A glamorous Princess of Wales arrived for the Coronation of King Charles with a breathtaking ivory dress along with a robe which wowed bystanders.

However Kate shocked onlookers by wearing no tiara. She arrived at Westminster ahead of the historic event in the formal robe with an Alexander McQueen dress in ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and thread work embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs, which she held up to stop it getting wet in the rainy weather.

The lack of tiara shocked many as she instead opted to go for a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen Headpiece with silver bullion, crystal and silver thread work three-dimensional leaf embroidery.
