Amanda Holden enjoys swanky afternoon tea with lookalike daughters Lexie, 17, and Hollie, 11

Amanda Holden joined millions across the country as she celebrated the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla on Saturday.

With the BGT judge, 52, heading to a posh afternoon tea with lookalike daughters Lexie, 17, and Hollie, 11, at The Ivy in Richmond, London.

Amanda, who shares her daughters with husband Chris Hughes, was the epitome of chic in a beige cardigan with big gold buttons for the outing, while hiding in a lavish spread and champagne.

She accentuated her age-defying features with a light layer of makeup and wore her blonde hair straight.

Meanwhile, Lexie wore a dark pinstripe suit and cream sweater for the occasion, while Hollie wore a floral blouse.

On Instagram, Amanda shared a glimpse of their intricate desserts decorated to perfection and presented to the table with dry ice.

She captioned the snap: ‘Celebrating the #kingcharles #coronation #longlivetheking by my Love’.

Amanda previously revealed that she made sure that ‘A* student’ Lexi completes her education before starting her modeling career.

In March 2022, Amanda announced that her eldest daughter has signed a contract with the Storm modeling agency as she follows in her mother’s footsteps into show business.

Amanda discussed Lexi’s next steps a year later, telling MailOnline exclusively, “She was hired by Storm. She’s 17, but I think when she’s 18, we’re going to look for her to work in that field. At the moment they are working on her Lookbook.’

When asked about her and Lexi’s recent red carpet appearances, the 52-year-old TV personality admitted, “I’m very aware of where we’re going.

‘We went to the Fashion Awards and that was very exciting. So yes, I want to take her to the right things, the relevant things. She’s interested in the fashion side.’

However, Lexi’s modeling career won’t come before her education, as Amanda said, “Lexi’s an A* student so I don’t want her to mess that up and she’s willing to do anything.”

VIP guests lined up a mile from 6am to get one of the top 2,300 seats in Westminster Abbey on the Saturday ahead of the historic coronation.

Around 100 heads of state are in London, with representatives from 203 countries on hand to watch Charles be crowned in a Christian ceremony that stretches back 1,000 years on a day dripping with glorious pageantry.

Stunning flowers in red, burgundy and yellow gold covered the top of the ornate gold high altar.

A smiling Dean of Westminster in his vivid red priestly robes was seen hastily carrying the holy oil for anointing past the abbey from the altar through the quire, holding the precious ornate silver vessel in both hands.

It will also highlight Britain’s place on the world stage in the UK’s largest ceremonial military operation since Sir Winston Churchill’s state funeral in 1965 with 7,000 servicemen marching alongside the King and Queen.

The coronation saw 7,000 servicemen and women accompanying Their Majesties, making it the country’s largest ceremonial event since 1953.

Indeed, the coronation procession back from the abbey after the ceremony is so large that when the King and Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace, the rearguard will have reached only Downing Street, a mile away.

More than 100 million people around the world watched the historic first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years – with an estimated 2 million people on the streets of London to watch history unfold.

King Charles, 74, automatically took over the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last September.

A rich royal blue tapestry – chosen to emphasize the king’s and queen’s regal red, gold and purple robes – graced the stage in the coronation theatre.

Prince Harry flew in from Los Angeles for his 24-hour journey. On Friday night it emerged that he has been relegated to the third row in the abbey with other non-working royals.
