The Princess of Wales may have worn two gowns for the Coronation - as the new royal portraits show a gown with a different neckline to her stunning ivory silk crepe dress by Alexander McQueen, which she wore to the ceremony on Saturday.

Eagle-eyed royal fans noticed that while Kate, 41, sported a scoop-necked piece for the Westminster Abbey festivities over the weekend, newly-released photographs taken on the same day show the King's daughter-in-law in a more V-necked design.

Instagram fan account @middletonmaven said that the photos show the mother-of-three 'wearing a new Alexander McQueen gown for the official photos', and other observers chipped in to voice their agreement.

'Yes, the embroidery at the bottom of the dress is different too,' they wrote. 'Both gorgeous and the necklace completed the magnificent look.'

However, closer look at the hemline suggests that the floral designs along the skirt are strikingly similar if not identical.

The dress in the portrait also showed off gorgeous embroidery among the sleeves, harking a similar floral design. 

'I wonder why she had two made,' a third asked. 

However, not everyone was convinced that a second gown was a definite possibility - as one questioned whether the Princess may have been wearing a cape during the ceremony.Read@https://tinyurl.com/4pbkcsyk
