The Crown is three things.

1. A heavily fictionalised account of the royal family of the UK commissioned and streamed by Netflix.
2. The Crown of St. Edward - the ceremonial headgear worn by monarchs of the UK at their coronation and symbolic of their right to reign.
3. The ‘Crown in Parliament’ - the abstract authority of the British state, nominally derived from the monarch (see point 2 above) but wielded in practice by the elected government of the day. When you read about ‘Crown land’ or ‘powers exercised by the Crown,’ this is what is meant. In other countries it would be ‘Federal land’ or ‘powers exercised by the state.’ It does not mean that such land is the personal property of the monarch, or that such powers are his or hers to exercise personally.

A dental crown is a treatment to strengthen a tooth that has lost structure to decay. It is different than a filling that is held in a tooth by the structure of the tooth. The crown is the structure of the tooth above the gumline.

A dental crown can be fabricated in the mouth with silver amalgam, but requires experience in doing this.

A cast crown is usually gold, and can be a 3/4 crown, 7/8ths crown, an onlay, or a full or modified crown with cast pin retention. These are difficult to design and have been abandoned for the most part for porcelain full crowns that remove about 505 more of the tooth and weaken it, because it is easier and look nice.

There are other types of crowns that have no metal in them, and appear to this date to be adequate.

In addition to symbolizing the achievement of mind over body – the intangible triumph of the spirit – the crown can be seen as a representation of a halo, which in turn represents genius.

The original Latin term genius was the guiding spirit of a person, family or place, which eventually became represented in art as the halo. Where we generally see angels and saints sporting halos, the crown becomes the representation of genius in rulers. That is, the union with the guiding spirit will help the ruler to be wise. (Or so it’s supposed to work that way.)

As with many symbols and rites, we have forgotten much of the original significance. Look no further than ‘Burger King’ for confirmation. (I do admit to wearing a Burger King Crown — ironically, of course — when I was a queen in a high school skit.)

Crowns developed from an earlier form of royal headgear called the diadem, a kind of richly ornamented but flexible headband. Diadems were used in ancient Persia and Egypt, and from there came to be used by the Hellenistic monarchs of classical Greece. Emperors of Rome for the first few centuries of the Empire pretended, at least formally, to be not kings but ‘first among equals’ citizens, and so eschewed regalia such as diadems. Diocletian (r.286–305) was the first to give up the pretence and emperors once again wore the diadem. This could be combined with a golden laurel wreath, making it more rigid, a step on the way to what we would recognise as a crown. Among the earliest emperors to be depicted wearing something you would definitely call a crown is Justinian (r.527–565).

By tradition, the Iron Crown of Lombardy, a simple rigid circlet, was originally made for Constantine (r.324–337), but this is dubious (the earliest definite reference to it is in the 7th century), and if it was, it doesn’t appear to have been used as an imperial crown until centuries later.

Emperors were almost always depicted in diadem or crown on coins. Up to Zeno (r.474–475), it’s pretty definitely a diadem. In fact, this image of Zeno helps show the difference between a diadem and a crown:

With the emperors between Zeno and Justinian, it could be either — the limitations of coin art make it hard to tell for sure. So possibly there were imperial crowns or crown prototypes during the 50 years before Justinian. From Tiberius II Constantine (r.574–582) on, it’s pretty definitely a crown, with a cross mounted on a small hoop at the front showing its rigidity. The dangly jewels make it clear, I think, that this is a slightly elaborated version of the headgear Justinian wears in the mosaic, i.e. it helps confirm that is a crown, not just a fancy hat.

Later emperors had various kinds of crown, and the ones familiar in western Europe are based on that made for Charlemagne in 800, with a single full arch over the circlet. Later western crowns usually had several arches.

As mentioned, the diadem or crown is basically a symbol of office, formal wear so that people know who is king or emperor. Its origin is in early medieval Europe. Originally it was used by emperors. Kings and queens caught the bug not long afterwards. Other ranks of nobility might also wear crowns (or coronets), but these would be less ornate.

The Crown is a legal entity that may have one of the following meanings in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms such as Australia, Canada, or New Zealand:

1. The corporation sole or the office of the monarch.
2. The embodiment of the sovereign power or of the State in a monarchy.
3. The executive authority of a monarchy, including its government, civil and diplomatic services, armed forces, and public property.

It is called “The Crown” as a reference to the ornamental cicular headpiece , usually made of precious metals such as gold or gilded silver and decorated with precious stones, which is worn (or used to be worn) by kings and queens.

EDIT: In continenral European monarchies such as Spain, “the Crown” refers only to the office of the King as Head of State and is legally distinguished from the executive government, the civil and military administration, and public / state property.

The term 'dental crown' can refer to one of two things:
1. In gross dental anatomy, it is the part of a tooth covered with enamel and is visible in the mouth. The root is the other part of the tooth and retains the tooth on the mouth by its attachment to the periodontium and jaw bone. The line of demarcation between the crown and the root is the cementoenamel junction.
2. In restorative dentistry, a crown is a restoration that covers the anatomic crown of a tooth to restore it to normal form and function. A restorative crown can be made of acrylic (typically a provisional crown) metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, porcelain.

The Queen rarely wears a crown. She wears the George IV ‘Diamond’ Diadem or State Diadem to the state opening of parliament. It’s the crown that features on most portraits as well as stamps and money in her realm. She also wore it to her coronation.

The Imperial State Crown is the Crown with the famous gems on it …such as the Cullinan 11 diamond, The Black Prince’s Ruby (actually a spinel), St Edwards Sapphire and the Stuart Sapphire along with pearls that belonged to Queen Elizabeth 1. That is worn at the State opening of parliament and is on view with the rest of the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. It’s the one most people associate with royalty.

The Queen was crowned with King Edward’s Crown which dates from the restoration of the monarchy because the original was sold by Oliver Cromwell. It’s also part of the Crown Jewels. It’s been altered and redesigned several times. It’s named after Edward the Confessor.

Both crowns are very heavy and extremely uncomfortable to wear as you cannot easily move your head. The Queen usually wears a tiara to state functions other than above. She chooses one of several. Some are hers in her own right others are owned by ‘The Crown’ and form part of ‘The Crown Jewels’. These are also loaned to members of the royal family for weddings and state occasions.

Do you mean all the time? Of course she doesn't. She wears tiaras to official functions like state dinners, she also wears the Imperial State Crown at the state opening of Parliament for her Queen's Speech, but the rest of the time, no, she doesn't wear a crown. She gets up every day and brushes her hair like the rest of us do. On the majority of official engagements the Queen will wear hats.

The Queen once described the Imperial State Crown, worn for the state opening of parliament and weighing 1.28 kilogrammes (2.3 lbs), as "very unwieldy".

"Fortunately, my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head. But once you put it on, it stays. I mean, it just remains itself."

The sovereign said she had to keep her head still.

"And you can't look down to read the speech -- you have to take the speech up. Because if you did, your neck would break, or the crown would fall off.

Rarely.

it’s only a symbol not some magical artefact.

She used to regularly wear a crown, often the Imperial State Crown, at the State Opening of Parliament, which typically happens once a year, unless there’s an election or a reason to cancel it.

But crowns are quite heavy and she’s 93 years old.

(The official excuse for what follows is that it was close to Christmas.)

For the most recent Queen’s Speech, in December 2019, the Imperial State Crown, which weighs 1.06kg, was placed on a chair next to her.

And that wasn’t the only change, as you can see below (‘Today’ was in December 2019, two months after the left-hand photo):

The Imperial State Crown was to her right, in front of the Lord Great Chamberlain.

Spread out your hand. Now spread your thumb and forefinger as wide apart as you can into a vee shape. With your other hand, press the thinnest part of the skin in the middle of the vee shape. Press hard. Then imagine that feeling in a circle all the way around. If you have prepared the skin around the opening to the vagina by rubbing it with olive or coconut oil, and rubbing progressively harder every day for 2 or 3 weeks( husbands or partners are usually happy to help!), this is what crowning feels like and there will be no tearing. Even if there is an episiotomy ( which increases tearing), or a small tear, it will not be felt, except as a release of pressure, not pain. As soon as the widest part of the baby’s head is past this point, the pressure goes away. As the shoulders pass through, the pressure changes place, but is about the same intensity for a few seconds.

Many women find this hard to describe because the sensations involved with pushing are so much more overwhelming. If the tissues are not prepared, this is frequently felt as a burning pain, but it need not be. Occasionally, the passage of the shoulders is more intense than crowning, but generally lasts a much shorter time.

Dental crowns are caps that restore the shape and size of teeth after they have been damaged, and offer protection from further damage. Dental crowns are a great option for restoring damaged teeth and are a standard procedure offered at a restorative dentistry.

When a tooth is damaged, there is always hope that it can heal on its own. Unfortunately, teeth do not heal or restore damaged enamel on their surface. However, your family dentist can help to protect and restore a tooth with a dental crown.

Dental crowns are a versatile treatment which can protect a weak tooth from infection, restore a damaged tooth, cover a dental implant, hold a dental bridge in place and provide a great, natural appearance.

Dental crown can help recreate the appearance and function of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma or Cover a dental implant

A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. A crown is typically used to restore a damaged tooth, but they can also be used to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can consist of three different materials, all-metal, ceramic-on-metal and all-ceramic. The location of the crown in the teeth will determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth need to have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients may often use ceramic-on-metal crowns since they look natural but have the durability that only metal can provide.

When getting dental crowns and dental bridges installed, it is advisable that you work with a cosmetic dentist that knows how to complete the procedure in a way that looks natural.

Crowning is the most painful part of labor/ delivery (in my opinion and personal experience). Even with getting an epidural you will still know when this is happening.

Crowning refers to when the baby is passing through the birth canal as it is about to emerge.

You will experience a burning sensation, felt like being ripped apart to me, that is often referred to as the ‘ring of fire’.

Just keeping pushing through this because once the baby is out the intense pain stops.

In my own labors (I’ve had 3) I was fairly quiet during all of it, maybe a few moans or groaning, until the baby crowned. That was the only part of labor that I screamed or yelled out. The pain is worth it though and you really do forget about when you are holding your new baby.

Meghan Markle wore a paste replica of the genuine tiara that had been chosen

by the Queen for her use at the wedding, at second thought, probably after

such arrogant acts as the Markle ordering the tiara sent to her hairdresser

to practice styles on for herself, and her repeated rejections of the Queen's

generosity in offering to lend her the Queen Mary tiara as she coveted a

heavy and elaborate tiara of the Grand Duchess Vladimir that was garnished

with large emeralds.

Even at that time the BRF did not trust the Markle's sticky

fingers.

No. The crown is fiction based on fact and no member of the royal family took part. In the film Hennessy footage of the queen on official duty was included and for that reason and also I’m sure the nature of that film it was banned in the UK. I saw it in Gibraltar and saw a statement on it that no member of the royal family took part.

If the visible part of your tooth is damaged, a dental crown acts as a “cap” that protects the rest of the tooth. A crown can protect the tooth from further damage while restoring its look and functionality.

For instance, if a tooth has decayed severely and the enamel is weakened, you may experience tooth sensitivity. A crown can act as a barrier, like the original enamel, and restore the integrity of the tooth. A crown may be made of many types of materials such as porcelain, a composite resin, a combination of porcelain and metal, or a metal alloy.

Even if you don’t have a damaged tooth, you may want a crown to restore the cosmetic look of your smile such as through color-matching a discolored tooth to the rest of your teeth.

The cost of a dental crown on average can range from $600 to $1,500 per crown but it depends on what your insurance covers, the amount of your deductible, additional work the dentist might need to perform and if there are other services you are receiving that day, such as a filling for a cavity.

To find out what kind of dental crown insurance coverage you have, review your plan summary or talk to your insurance provider. You will have to consider your deductibles and maximums, as well as any waiting periods involved after your coverage start date.
