		The Crown of Queen Elizabeth is the platinum crown manufactured for, and worn by, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the queen consort of King George VI of the United Kingdom at their coronation in Westminster Abbey in 1937.
		The crown was made Garrards and Company in London, the longterm manufacturer of British royal crowns, and modelled partially on the design of the Crown of Queen Mary, the consort coronation crown of Mary of Teck, wife of King George V.
		It consists of four half-arches, in contrast to the eight half-arches of Queen Mary's crown and ten half-arches of the Crown of Mary of Modena.

	Queen Alexandra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Alexandra, and her two sons, here appear helplessly dependent on the king, in contrast with the schemer who had been wife of Aristobulus I. She is sixty-four years old at this time.
		However, the queen also was concerned with the well-being of the kingdom, and got together a great body of mercenary soldiers, and increased her own army to such a degree that she became a terror to the neighboring tyrants and took hostages from among them.
		In the mean time, Alexandra fell sick, and Aristobulus, her younger son, took hold of this opportunity, with his domestics, of which he had a great many, who were all of them his friends, on account of the warmth of their youth, and got possession of all the fortresses.

		Because the Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II both had similar style crowns and all Kings between them shared a different design the two designs are sometimes called the Queen's Crown and the King's Crown, but this is a misnomer.
		When the Queen came to the throne it was felt appropriate to change the crown (so it changed in 1952/53 not 1947) to reflect the fact that she was not Empress of India, and that the British Empire was being dismantled.
		Prior to the accession of Edward VII (1902), the iconographic Crown was unregulated.

	The Royal Scribe
		Of course, Queen Victoria’s constant efforts to convince Alexandra and Mary to avoid flamboyant displays of jewels appear to have been equally fruitless, and both women came to be renowned in their own time for their striking and resplendent appearance.
		Alexandra appears to have decided early on that this was not the style for her and did not demure from resetting jewels that were not to her personal style.
		In Queen Mary’s case, although it is apparent that she started out by emulating Alexandra’s style, she did ultimately create a unique style of her own that nonetheless seemed eternally parked in the Age of Empire.

	Monarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In an absolute monarchy, the Monarch has power over every aspect of the state, if not of social life in general, and a constitution may be granted or withdrawn, while a constitutional monarch is subject to it as well as any citizen (though it may grant him such priviliges as inviolability).
		The most famous example of this was general Napoleon Bonaparte who created himself Emperor of France (formerly a kingdom) after legally assuming political control of the French Republic as First Consul for life; a blatant imitation of his empire was that of Bokassa I in the very poor Central African Empire.
		Also, Yuan Shikai crowned himself emperor of the short-lived "Empire of China", after Republic of China was founded the few years ago.
