Both sets of robes and coronets were worn at the coronation of George VI in 1937, by the 3rd Viscount, Assheton Henry Cross (1920-2004), when he was only 17, and his mother, Maud Evelyn Cross (1889-1976), the 3rd Viscount having inherited the title as a minor aged 12.

A lawyer and banker, Cross is widely acknowledged as one of the country's outstanding home secretaries. The Cross Act of 1875 empowered municipalities to buy and demolish slums and to build housing for rental. In the same year Cross carried through Parliament: the Factory Act, regulating the employment of women and children in textile mills; the Public Health Act, a comprehensive sanitary code; and two statutes reinterpreting Gladstone’s trade-union legislation of 1871. Cross was created viscount in 1886, and held the secretaryship for India from that year until 1892. From 1895 to 1900 he was Lord Privy Seal.Cross was a fellow of the Royal Society, a bencher of the Inner Temple, and an ecclesiastical commissioner, and was keenly interested in the affairs of the church. His honours included, besides the viscountcy, the Knight Grand Cross (1880) and Knight Grand Commander (1892). He was among the small band of her ministers to whom Queen Victoria gave her close personal friendship. He is mentioned frequently in her journals from 1877 until 1900, often as a guest at the royal residences of Balmoral, Windsor and Osborne.An attractive set of robes, with interesting provenance, offered in timely fashion in this, the year of the coronation of King Charles III.
