A consort crown is a
crown worn by the
Queen Consort of a
kingdom for her
coronation or on state occasions. Unlike with reign
monarchs, who may inherit one or more crowns for use, consorts sometimes had special crowns made uniquely for them and which were worn by no other later consort.All
British Queens Consorts in the
20th century,
Alexandra of Denmark,
Mary of Teck and
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wore their own specially made consort crowns, made in
1902,
1911 and
1937 respectively. Previous English and British Queens Consort had used the consort crown of
Mary of Modena, wife of King
James II of England, until
Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the consort of King
William IV, who had a special new consort crown created for her.
