[edit] Inconsistence

There are 2 sentences which are inconsistent :

A "The Imperial State Crown is worn annually by the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament. Traditionally, the Crown and other jewels leave in their own carriage and arrive at the Palace of Westminster prior to the Queen's departure from Buckingham Palace. They are then transported to the Robing Room, where the Queen dons her robes and wears the Crown." (The jewels are being kept at the Tower)

B "Because of its weight (910 g), monarchs often choose to wear the Imperial State Crown in their private apartments on and off for a couple of hours on the morning of the State Opening of Parliament so they can get used to the weight and feel comfortable with it on. (One courtier reported on the morning of a State Opening witnessing Queen Elizabeth eating her breakfast and reading newspapers while wearing it.)" (The sovereign has breakfast at Buckingham Palace)

How can statement B then be true ?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.23.167 (talk) 11:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
