Josh transformed into the Prince, as he wore his ‘formal blues’ army uniform while out on the streets of the royal town before draping a royal purple mantle over his shoulders during the ceremony.
The outfit was made to replicate what Prince Charles wore at the time, a hand woven silk velvet robe which was created by Ede & Ravenscroft and secured with an 18ct Welsh gold clasp.
The actor completed his look by wearing a gold ceremonial crown on his head, and he could be seen holding a staff in one hand.
