00:00I'm here with Emily Nash who was in Westminster Abbey and there's so many
00:03things to talk about but we have to focus on the fashion. Did you have a
00:06favorite look of all the incredible ones today? It was a simple one but it was
00:10Princess Charlotte. I think seeing her in Alexander McQueen and looking very
00:15similar to her mom but also very sweet and little princess like was very
00:20magical. I thought it was beautiful and the tiara headband debate settled it was
00:24both right? It was a good combination I think you know there was a prediction
00:28earlier in the week that it might be a flower crown. It sort of was but a
00:31fabric one and again Alexander McQueen and a collaboration with Jess Collett and it
00:36was a fantastic result. I think lovely to do something different. I thought they
00:40looked so regal in their robes too. What did you make of William? I think William
00:44looked fantastic. I mean we're used to seeing him in garter robes for example
00:49every year when he does the garter day service but had an extra poignancy seeing
00:55him there pledging his oath to his father in the full regalia while his father was
01:00fully dressed as well. It really felt quite surreal to watch that. How about
01:04Queen Camilla? Her Bruce Oldfield design? It was stunning. Yeah she did look
01:09fantastic. I mean Bruce Oldfield's been one of her favorite designers for many
01:12years. He has a fantastic backstory. You know he grew up in in a care home in
01:16Barnardo's which is one of the charities she supports so there's a really
01:20personal connection to that. I feel like these pieces are gonna hang in museums and I
01:24can't wait to see them. How about the king? I think the king did incredibly well. You
01:28know those garments, those vestments he wore, the super tunica, the colobium
01:32syndonis and the imperial mantle are incredibly heavy. It's like probably
01:35around six or seven kilos and that's without the crown, the St. Edward's crown
01:40which is five pounds. You know at one point we did see the assistant bishops
01:45helping him into his throne chair. He had a lot to juggle there. I think he did
01:50incredibly well. And how about the audience or the rest of the people in
01:54the abbey? I thought it was a beautiful day dress. Is that how you would describe it?
01:58It was. It was beautiful day dress but also I mean national dress. You know there
02:02were people in Maori cloaks, there were First Nations Canadians there in
02:06headdresses, there were people in the big plumed helmets, remarkable heraldry. It
02:12was a bit of a feast for the senses. And such a difference, such a change from 1953, right? When
02:18it was a bunch of lord and ladies.
02:19That's right. I mean it was definitely a much wider spectrum of British society
02:24represented there and I think that was fantastic to see. And the thing that
02:28struck me in particular was the king as he walked into the abbey, he looked very
02:31happy and calm but he seemed to genuinely recognize a lot of people in the
02:36congregation and these weren't you know the peers of the realm and aristocrats. At
02:41this point these were people from his charities and people connected to causes
02:45he supports and I think that was really special.
