Kevin Daly @kevinddaly 3hCamilla being crowned queen.

It's simple: when the pawn moves all the way across the board, it can be queened.If a pawn makes it all the way across the board without being captured, you can then transform your pawn into another queen (or rook, or bishop, or knight, but players almost always choose a queen.) If this is the case and your original queen is still on the board, you can turn a captured rook upside down. This universally signifies a queen.

(24,378 posts)1. It all seems so silly.
But if the British like it and want it, I will give them their due. It does me no harm.

(5,979 posts)2. Her crown looks like it's about a half size too big.
And is going to slip down around her head any second.
I really wish that she and Charles had married back in the day. They would have been so much happier and a whole series of tawdry messes could have not happened. And Diana would probably still be alive, and happily married to someone else, and we'd never have heard of her.
Damn history sometimes.

(116,021 posts)3. The crown isn't very flattering, it looks much too big.
I don't know why those crowns have that velvet insert. The whole design is kind of goofy.
