decrowned
Stripped of crown
Decrowned means stripped of a crown or royal status—literally dethroned or figuratively reduced from a position of supremacy.
A decrowned monarch has lost the throne; a decrowned champion has been displaced: The decrowned boxing king refused interviews.
The word emphasizes the loss of what was once held, carrying a note of fallen glory.
