'In true royal family style, Harry, like his late grandmother, is a true expert in visual representation, and his decision to wear a French designer to this historic occasion spoke volumes. Harry would have been well-versed in the protocol of supporting domestic businesses, and the message doing so would convey. 'The Prince turned up looking smart if somewhat apprehensive in an immaculate Dior suit, a potentially rebellious move on his behalf. Ms Holder spoke of the 'sea of exquisite British couture' from the Alexander McQueen that 'graced' Kate Middleton and Charlotte, to the poppy red Emilia Wickstead coat worn by actress Emma Thompson which she decorated with her MBE.īut she continued: 'It seemed however that Harry did not get the fashion memo - either that, or he was in a petulant mood. She said most guests appeared to have 'got the memo to support the best of British brands at such a uniquely patriotic occasion'. Ms Holder told MailOnline today: 'Harry's brief appearance at the Coronation was always going to be controversial, every second that he was under the watchful eye of the many cameras, every move he made would be ruthlessly scrutinised, and due to him not wearing any sort of ceremonial uniform, his style choices would be at the top of the list.' Harry's late mother Princess Diana was also a fan of Dior and wore their outfits in the months before her death aged 36 - including, famously, at the Met Gala in 1996. Royal commentators had speculated about whether Harry would wear a military uniform after he did not wear one for the late Queen's funeral last September.Īnd yesterday he opted for the three-piece suit which consisted of a morning coat and a black vest, which Harry wore with a crisp white shirt and a pearl grey tie. Harry and his wife Meghan have previously worn various outfits by Dior which has prompted claims that they could be working on a partnership with the brand.īrand and culture expert Nick Ede added that now the Sussexes are no longer working royals, they can 'have an arrangement with one of the biggest fashion houses in the world' and Dior would have 'jumped at the chance' to work with them. The Duke of Sussex looked smart in the bespoke three-piece suit designed by Dior's artistic director Kim Jones especially for his appearance at Westminster Abbey.īut royal fashion expert and celebrity stylist Miranda Holder said Harry's choice of a French brand showed he 'did not get the fashion memo or was in a petulant mood' as most other guests wore British labels, adding that his decision 'spoke volumes'. Prince Harry's Dior suit he wore for the Coronation could have been a rebellious move as he and Meghan Markle make a deal with the brand, experts claimed today.
