queen mother

Charles sidestepped a similar controversy when Buckingham Palace announced that his wife, Camilla, wouldn’t wear the crown of Queen Elizabeth, the queen mother, on coronation day.

Widows of British kings are called “dowager queens,” or, if their children accede to the throne, “queen mother.”

But it turned out to be her sister, Princess Margaret, and the queen mother.

Bassett, who portrays the grieving queen mother in Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” sequel, has been nominated for a supporting actress Oscar.

It was last brought out in public for the 2002 funeral of the queen mother, the last person to wear it, and the crown rested on a purple velvet pillow atop her coffin.
