Re: Crowns

I really liked all of the crowns in LWW. If I had to choose one, I think it would be (characteristically) Edmund's. I don't really know if Eustace and Jill need proper coronations. After all, they have crowns in the end, and as Aslan said:
"Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen."
Another consideration is that, while Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were given a coronation, they were actual Narnian rulers. Jill and Eustace were not. I think Lewis failed to give them a coronation on purpose. Do we Earthly "Kings and Queens" of God's Kingdom receive crowns before we reach Heaven? Not unless we're also Kings and Queens (specifically rulers) here.
Just my 2 cents.
