coronated

Given a crown

Coronated is a back-formation from coronation, used to mean crowned or formally installed as monarch: The queen was coronated in Westminster Abbey.

Traditional usage prefers crowned, and some consider coronated nonstandard or unnecessary.

Nevertheless, it appears in both casual speech and formal contexts, particularly when emphasizing the ceremony itself rather than the simple act of placing a crown.
