PRINCE OF WALES CORONET
The coronet is composed of a silver-gilt frame, with a matted frieze decorated with partly or
wholly polished jewel-like ovals and lozenges, each with an acanthus surround, above a
ropework border. The upper border is continuous with four crosses-pattand four
fleurs-de-lis, partly matted and chased. The single arch is semi-circular with two borders of
applied silver beads, supporting a matted monde surmounted by a cross. The form of the
coronet to be worn by the heir apparent to the Crown (usually the Prince of Wales) was
decided in a warrant issued in 1677 by Charles II. It was laid down that the coronet would be
composed of crosses and fleurs-de-lis, with one arch, and a monde and cross in the centre.
This version was created to be worn by the Prince of Wales, later George V, at the
coronation of his father, Edward VII, on 9 August 1902. It was used again at the coronation
of George V himself, in June 1911, when it was worn by the young Edward, Prince of Wales
(later Edward VIII). A month later, the Prince was invested as Prince of Wales and a new
coronet was made for the occasion.
