Modifications/resizing to Imperial State Crown for Charles III?
Posted by JohnPete on March 1, 2023, 8:52 am
Hello, do we know if The Imperial State Crown is due to be altered for Charles? As we know, it was changed somewhat from the design of George VI to fit Elizabeth II better, but I have only heard that modifications were being made to Queen Mary’s coronation crown for Queen Camilla. I for one would love to see the arches on The Imperial Crown raised again to how they were for Charles’ grandfather.

According to the Website of the Tower it is at the m,oment not on display in the Jewel House as it is prepared for the coronation. But it isn't mentioned what is done.
