Our expert's notes

Katherine de Valois’s (Emma Thompson) crown from Kenneth Branagh’s historical drama Henry V. An adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, the film follows the heroic King Henry V (Kenneth Branagh) as he seeks war against France, with the war culminating at the Battle of Agincourt.
Princess Katherine wears her crown towards the end of the film when Henry privately speaks to her about how marrying a French princess will demonstrate his respect for the French people but should also love one another. This crown is made from a metal band with repeating fleur-de- lis style pieces, all of which have been covered in a light brown fabric. The interior of the band is lined with a suede-like fabric for comfort purposes and the inside of the floral pieces has been finished in a metallic faux-gold. The exterior of the crown is heavily decorated with faux-gold trimmings, metallic floral shaped beads, faux-pearls and pink coloured beads, matching her elaborate pink gown. Two small clips have been attached either side allowing the crown to be securely attached to the actresses’ head and a small label reading “F” is located on the inside of the crown, indicating the side that should be worn at the front of the head.

The metallic faux-gold has worn away on the inside of some of the fleur-de-lis pieces and wear to the finish of some of the decoration. However, in spite of this wear, the crown remains in very good condition and is a beautifully ornate piece.
