Leonor, a symbol of the Queen's queen, existed since 1766, with not only a crown but also a scepter

author:The royal family's little henchman

Almost every royal family will have several crowns to a greater or lesser extent for members of the royal family to use when attending important events. In addition to crowns, many royal families also have queen-king or queen-specific crowns. Crowns are more luxurious than crowns and are only used on very large occasions, such as coronation ceremonies, council openings, and so on. They are not only ornaments, but more importantly, symbols of the status of power.

Crowns and scepters appeared at the Queen's coronation in 1952, but not every king in Europe had a coronation ceremony when he ascended the throne, some royal families never had this ceremony, and some have been abolished. The Spanish crown had a coronation ceremony long ago and was abolished, and King Ferdinand I, crowned in 1414, was the last monarch of the Spanish royal family to be crowned. Thus the crown and scepter of the Spanish crown are only symbols of status and power. When King Felipe VI ascended to the throne in 2014, he placed a crown and scepter on a pillow in front of his podium.

The crown, named The Crown Hill, is said to have been made by King Carlos in 1766 for the funeral of his mother, Queen Isabel. Queen Isabel's husband, King Felipe V, was the first Spanish monarch of the Bourbon dynasty and was monumental, so there was nothing wrong with making a crown for her funeral.

This crown differs from other royal crowns in Europe in that it is not studded with any gemstones, is made entirely of gold and silver, is 39 cm high, 40 cm in diameter and weighs about two pounds. It really can only be put on the head. The pattern on the crown is also very elaborate, with lions, pomegranates, castles, and bourbon coat of arms Iris flowers. The scepter was given to King Felipe II, a member of the Habsburg dynasty, in the 16th century by the Roman Emperor Rudolf II, and was made of silver, enamel, garnet and crystal and was 68 cm long.

In the future, when Princess Leonor became queen of Spain, presumably the crown and scepter would also appear at the enthronement ceremony, although it could not be worn, but it was great to show it, after all, it was a symbol of power and status.
