Simple vainglory the obvious motivation for putting \u0027Trudeau Crown\u0027 atop Canada\u0027s Royal Coat of Arms
Thus in 1957, some four years after the last coronation, those Canadian Arms were modified to include the St. Edward’s Crown instead of the Tudor Crown. The current expectation was that, in due course, without any drama, the Arms would have been modified to go back to the Tudor Crown, as Charles has decided to follow his grandfather’s choice.
Is this important? Evidently it was important enough for the government to deliberately depart from the expected and traditional thing. Evidently it was thought that the actual representation of the sovereign in the sovereign’s Canadian arms should not follow the sovereign’s own choice. That is important, for it elevates the preference of the prime minister to a place which he does not occupy in our crown-in-parliament constitutional monarchy.
As for the religious content, the importance of crosses and similar symbols in a crown is precisely to remind the crown-bearer that his authority is not absolute, and that he will be subject to judgment for his exercise of it. That is a salutary lesson also for the lesser first ministers who govern in his name.Article contentA Mari usque ad Mare — from sea to sea
