The custom dates back to George the Third, but that monarch did not transfer all of the crown lands, but only enough to gain the sums of money he desired.

Velvet Made From Silk Produced By Silkworms In Kent The Coronation robes for the royal duchesses are, it is announced, to be made of velvet woven from silk pro- duced by silkworms reared in Kent.
