Answer 1

A State Crown is the working crown worn by a monarch on recurring state occasions such as State Openings of Parliament, as opposed to the coronation crown with which they would be formally crowned. Some state crowns might however be used during parts of the coronation ceremony. In isolated cases, individual monarchs sometimes chose to use their state crown instead of the official coronation crown for the crowning, but those cases were exceptions rather than the norm.

A consort crown is a crown worn by the Queen Consort of a kingdom for her coronation or on state occasions. Unlike with reign monarchs, 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 IV, who had a special new consort crown created for her.

A coronation crown is a crown used by a monarch when being crowned. In some monarchies, monarchs did not wear the one crown but had a number of crowns for different occasions; a coronation crown for the moment of coronation, and a state or imperial crown for general usage in state ceremonial. This is especially so for the United Kingdom.
