The Queen Consort has made the choice not to commission a new crown for her coronation
With the King’s big day set to take place on 6 May, Dr. George Gross, a visiting research fellow in Theology at King’s College London, has identified two “real messages” behind the Queen Consort's choice not to commission a new crown for her Coronation.
The controversial Koh-i-Noor diamond, that critics say was plundered under British rule, will be excluded and the crown will instead feature the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds. This is a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who often wore these diamonds as brooches since they were part of her personal jewellery collection.
Buckingham Palace said: "The choice of Queen Mary’s crown by Her Majesty is the first time in recent history that an existing crown will be used for the Coronation of a consort instead of a new commission being made, in the interests of sustainability and efficiency."
