How would it have been old fashioned?
Sorry, the whole coronation is old fashioned, because it dates back to the 9th century and that is the point of it.... to look old fashioned. Or the Garter robes... Why wear them if they meant to create a certain tone. The order of the Garter is the most 'elitest club' in the world - how is that modern or inclusive?
My point is, if you want modern, then have a pop concert have a street party(as they did) but leave the coronation as it was... tiaras, coronet's, robes, etc, etc.[/QUOTE]
I agree and Kate's headpiece was so tiara like anyway that she would have been as well just wearing one.
