With the King’s big day set to take place on 6 May, Dr. George Gross, a visiting research fellow in Theology at King’s College London, has identified two “real messages” behind the Queen Consort's choice not to commission a new crown for her Coronation.
Less than two months ahead of the Coronation at Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace announced in February that Her Majesty will be wearing a repurposed crown.The same headpiece Queen Mary wore for the Coronation of King George V in 1911 will be worn by Queen Camilla after undergoing a few modifications.
The controversial Koh-i-Noor diamond, that critics say was plundered under British rule, will be excluded and the crown will instead feature the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds.This is a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who often wore these diamonds as brooches since they were part of her personal jewellery collection.
As a Coronation expert, he believes that Camilla's decision to use a modified version of Queen Mary's crown is a "sensible" move made by the royal family during a time of economic uncertainty for the British people.
