Kate Middleton wore a custom made Alexander McQueen silk gown for the King's Coronation, but keen royal fans were forced to wait to see the design of the elegant dress as it was hidden underneath a formal robe.
Kate's stunning floor length gown featured a slight A-line skirt, and the hem was detailed with silver bullion and thread work featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs, the Express reports.
The newly released official Coronation portraits show the embroidery continues around the cuffs of the long sleeves and across the shoulders and chest of the gown as the delicate neckline sweeps into a curved V shape.
