At coronations past, all female attendees would have worn robes, ivory dresses and coronets or tiaras. This is one of the few moments in the Princesss royal life that she has had a blank canvas for a big royal occasion, unhindered by past direct comparisons to Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth.The last Princess of Wales to attend a coronation was in 1902, when the-then Princess Mary wore a pearl encrusted gown with braid detailing to the crowning of her father-in-law King Edward VII. One hundred and twenty one years later, the Princess of Wales has set a new template with a dress which will be remembered as one of the most important of her lifetime
