Kate Middleton forced to hitch up Coronation dress due to rain as she ditches tiara

A dazzling Princess of Wales has arrived for King Charles' Coronation and has wowed by in a show stopping ivory dress complete with a robe - but shocked by wearing no tiara.

Kate turned up at Westminster Abbey ahead of the historic spectacle wearing a formal robe alongside 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.
