Re: St. Edward's Crown - and its use since 1689

Queen Anne was crowned with small diamond crown of her own. King George I used a State Crown of his own. Kings George II, George III and William IV used the State Crown of George I. King George IV typically had a large new diamond crown made specially for the occasion. Queen Victoria and Edward VII chose not to use St Edward's Crown because of its weight and instead used the lighter 1838 Imperial State Crown.
