So Charles has his Prince of Wales coronet, Andrew uses Philip's, and Edward - is only an Earl after all at the moment (tee hee hee). Here is what his coronet would look like.
I don't believe we have ever seen him wear one? I think Andrew only wore one because in the 1980s (or was it 1990s) he actually went into the house of Lords.
I wonder if Camilla has had a Duchesses coronet made up at all yet? Don't know when she would wear it - so why bother ?(at the moment )
