Queen Mary's Crown - the Coronation Crown of Queen Camilla


Buckingham Palace announced yesterday that Camilla, the Queen Consort will be crowned in May with Queen Mary’s crown, the crown made for and used by Queen Mary at the 1911 coronation. That is a very sensible decision – a good political and aesthetic choice. In this short video I thought I would talk through the history and significance of the crown for you and why I think it is such a good decision.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
