There are various flower patterns over the length of the dress, including those that represent the four nations of the United Kingdom: a rose, a thistle, a daffodil, and a shamrok.
These represent England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland respectively.

With this design, Bruce Oldfield goes down in history, with the dress likely earning a spot in The Royal Collection. Curiously, Oldfield was a close friend of Princess Diana and one of her favorite designers.

Queen Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, an item encrusted with approximately two thousand diamonds.
