The costumes worn by the participants in the procession were one of the most notable aspects of the coronation of George IV. George, with a personal interest in costume, had taken the idea for the costumes from the Emperor Napoleon's coronation, but looked at earlier historical sources for the designs. He derived inspiration from the costumes worn at the Tudor and Stuart courts of the late 16th and 17th centuries.

For the robes worn by John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland (1759-1841) see Christie's, London, 30 November 2006, lot 626.
