The recent announcement regarding Queen Camilla using Queen Mary's crown for the May coronation included the following:
"This is the first time a Queen Consort’s Crown has been re-used since the 18th century, when Queen Caroline, consort of George II, wore Mary of Modena’s crown."
Which led me to wonder: What crown did Queen Charlotte wear at her coronation? That small one that went back to Hannover?
It looks like the Palace has also been using modern research about Queen Charlotte's crown(s) and the Mary of Modena pieces too.
I would add that it is not unusual for formal or official publications to differ from what actually happened at a royal event.
