Looks like Lovias Ulrica's crown. See here for a pic.

But why a Queen's crown for the funeral of a King?

are they the same?

 

[Kingen]

I don't think it is Queen Lovisa Ulrika's crown, more likely a specific burial crown.

Edit: It was partly true. According to the Swedish National Encyclopedia, was Queen Lovisa Ulrika's Burial Crown used for the lying in state and the funeral of King Gustav VI Adolf. It seems like this has been the case with previous funerals as well.

This crown is part of the funeral regalia made in Gothenburg in 1660 for the burial of King Carl X Gustaf of Sweden. There is also an orb, a sceptre, a key, a pommel and a guard from a sword - all in gold. On display at Livrustkammaren (The Royal Armoury) in the Stockholm Royal Palace.

Lady Finn, a question please. Is there somewhere here or an other place to read about all these crowns and just how many are there? I lost count in reading what was written about all of them.....what an interesting history behind all these beautiful works of art that are crowns what have survived for hundreds of years. Just fascinating and so interesting! I would really love to find a book on the entire history of Sweden and all the royal families, in English please. Thank you!

Kungahuset.se is a good start. There's an English language version and I know the crowns are featured somewhere.

Priceless Swedish crown jewels were stolen from the Strängnäs Cathedral in Sweden, the Swedish Police Authority said Tuesday.
The thieves took two crowns and royal orb from the cathedral, which is located west of Stockholm, and took off in a motor boat that was moored just below the church. Police immediately pursued the suspects by boat and helicopters.
“We are on land, in the water and in the air,” a police spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald.
The stolen crowns were the funeral crowns of Karl IV and his wife Queen Kristina from 1611, Swedish police said in a press release.

This is awful. I'm surprised the Forums are not lit up with this news.
What kind of miscreant dreams up this kind of robbery?
Do you think the intent was to hold the jewels ransom or to break them up?

 

[cepe]

I have read that these are not part of the Crown Jewels per se but are funeral regalia of King Karl IV and his wife Queen Kristina. The real Crown Jewels are kept in the vaults beneath the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

That's correct. It used to be a tradition to put funeral regalia (Crown, orb and sceptre) in the casket when a monarch and his/her spouse was buried. I think the tradition ended in the 1700s but I'm not sure.

I should say they just hope to make money on it. Problaby for sale to a private collector...

It's been discussed in a different thread since yesterday.
