crowned head

Royal ruler enthroned

A crowned head is a king, queen, or other monarch—someone who wears a crown as symbol of sovereignty.

The term appears in formal or literary contexts when referring to royalty collectively: The crowned heads of Europe gathered for the funeral.

It emphasizes the ceremonial aspect of monarchy rather than political power.
