Groom of the Robes


Groom of the Robes is an office in the Royal Household of the Sovereign of England. In 1953, the Groom of the Robes to Elizabeth II had the task of bringing forward the robes and other items of ceremonial clothing worn by the monarch at various points in the coronation service, ready to hand them over to the Mistress of the Robes and the Lord Great Chamberlain and to receive and remove those which were no longer required.
Although the post has remained unfilled since 1954, an Equerry is usually designated 'Acting Groom of the Robes' on occasions when robes are worn.
