Kate Middleton expected to 'break major royal protocol' at Coronation

King Charles's Coronation is now just days away and the historic event has posed many controversies with various family dramas arising.

And now, another issue could emerge - but this time, to do with Kate Middleton.

According to reports, the Princess of Wales may be set to break royal traditions with her choice of outfit accessory.

Traditionally, members of the Royal Family wear their finest gowns, uniforms and their best headgear.

However, Kate could be about to indecorously snub one of the oldest Coronation rules, deciding to opt for a "floral headpiece", according to the Times.

Ditching the tiara and breaking royal protocol would be unusual for Kate as she rarely strays from royal rules, with the exception being that she occasionally sports nail varnish.

However, if Kate opts to choose petals over jewels, it won't be the first time she's toyed with the idea of a flower crown.

In 2011, it is believed that on her wedding day, the future Princess of Wales wanted to wear a flower crown, following in the footsteps of her mum Carole, who wore flowers in her hair on her wedding day.

However, she was swayed to accept a Cartier Halo tiara, lent to her by the Queen as something borrowed.

At the late Queen Elizabeth's Coronation, almost every royal woman and all of those close relations of the Queen wore tiaras to the ceremony.

And in 1937 at the crowning of her father, George VI, she and Princess Margaret even wore coronets.

Royal author Hugo Vickers said: "Considering that a coronation is the most important state occasion in a reign it would be disappointing to do less than at a state banquet but I guess they want the entire focus on the King and Queen."

The Coronation is expected to reflect the King's love of nature with flowers, birds and insects seen on the invitations.
