    Side Note: QV wearing Queen Charlotte's crown Archived Message

    There is a watercolour, in Jonathan Marsden's - Victoria and Albert: Art and Love, of the costume Queen Victoria wore to the Stuart Restoration Costume Ball.
    Which shows that she wore Queen Charlotte's little crown as part of her costume:



    This is the best image I could find online, I can't scan the image, but in the book is clearly shows Queen Charlotte's crown perched at the back of her elaborate hair, in the style of Charles II's court.

    see:

    Jonathan Marsden (ed.), Victoria and Albert: Art and Love, (London: Royal Collection Publications, 2010). p. 234
