A consort crown is a Crown worn by the Queen Consort of a Kingdom for her Coronation or on state occasions. Unlike with Reign ing Monarch s, 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 , who had a special new consort crown created for her.
