Did you notice that Princess Kate, the princess of Wales, and her daughter Princess Charlotte, wore matching flower crowns at the Coronation of King Charles? At the coronation of her grandfather, King Charles, Princess Charlotte wore a delicate silver bullion and crystal flower crown by Jess Collet and Alexander McQueen as she attended the historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The headpiece matched her mother, Princess Kate Middleton, who also chose such an intricate diadem by the designer in lieu of a tiara. The eight-year-old wore a simple white sheath dress, also by McQueen, with embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock motifs—the four flowers of the United Kingdom—to accompany the statement piece of jewelry. She stood patiently alongside her mother, who was dressed in full royal regalia. It’s important to note that the significance of the moment goes far beyond an (albeit beautiful) outfit coordination. The jewelry design for both Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte is seemingly a nod to a motif used throughout Charles’s coronation of the Green Man. An ancient figure from British folklore, the Green Man symbolizes spring and rebirth. He wears a crown of oak, ivy, and hawthorn, and the emblematic flowers.
