Made in Heaven, I pondered a fictional story of what the late Queen Elizabeth II would wear from above to the coronation of her son, Charles III, and his wife, Camilla. The late Queen will surely be present in spirit and dressed elegantly in muted style for the royal event. Charles acceded to the throne on September 8, 2022, when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II passed away. The coronation takes place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, in Westminster Abbey. Charles will be crowned King and Camilla the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms.

The post was researched and written for the Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) by the Education Department’s Research Intern Jennifer Liles, assigned by Stevenson University, where she is majoring in Public History.
