I too keep reading that it will be shorter and more low key than the last Coronation. However, this past week has shown that there is still an appetite for royal ritual and ceremony in Britain. I would think that King Charles would not want to dispense with the Crown of St. Edward, given his love of tradition. I think they will have to modify the Imperial State Crown. Queen Camilla could be crowned with the same crown that was made for Queen Elizabeth for the 1937 Coronation.
What crown was used for the coronations of Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary?
