And each monarch only wears this crown once--at their coronation. After that they wear the Imperial State Crown.Originally posted by A.C.C.@Dec 7th, 2003 - 9:03 pm
St. Edward's Crown
This is the crown used to crown the British monarch at his/her coronation. It was last used in 1953 to crown Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duke of Edinburgh at one stage of the Coronation wore a royal Duke's coronet. Check out the Coronation thread; there may be a pic.crisiñaki said:1. Both have to be heavy as heck, they should wear a head/neck supporter of some kind to bear that weight![]()

2. Did the DoE wear a crown in the coronation of QEII? Which one?
Do you think when Charles is crowned that Camilla will wear the Queen Mum's crown or one of the older ones like Queen Mary's? I know she has a lot of the Queen Mum's other jewels like the Honeycomb tiara.A.C.C. said:The crown worn by Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, to Her coronation in 1937. She wore it without the arches to the coronation of Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953.
