crownless
Lacking royal headwear
Crownless means lacking a crown, either literally or figuratively.
A crownless king has been deposed or rules without formal coronation.
The word often carries romantic or tragic overtones—someone who deserves authority but has been denied it, or who has lost what was once theirs: a crownless prince in exile, crownless but unbowed.
