What I’d do with those individual stones… 
I can't find the answer anywhere but I'd like to know if The Imperial State Crown which KCIII will be wearing a lot more will be altered to suit him. The crown did look different before QEII and I'm just wondering if it'll look too feminine on Charles after we've been used to seeing it in its current more female-suited lower arched form worn by the queen.

Yes, the crown is being resized.

The St Edward's Crown is being resized, no mention of the Imperial State Crown in that article either.
Omg, there are 2 crowns??? Sorry, I am so ignorant of these matters. Off to do research.
No worries! I have only recently found myself reading about all of these. I'm not sure if there are more than two but as far as I know, the Giant Break-A-Neck Crown is the St. Edward's which is only used during crowning and then there's the Giant Gemstones Bling-Bling-Melty-Strawberry-Marmalade-Candy Hat aka Imperial State Crown. And don't even get me started on the options Camilla has for a Furry Band Bling Hat!
I found a couple of clips:
The Queen and St Edward's Crown

You need to watch the video of the last coronation !!! I recommend it - it’s absolutely fascinating - not just the removal of one crown and replacement but the disrobing and re robing the annointment with oils etc all with their own historic significance - the late wonderful Queen provided commentary on the version I watched with so many wonderful personal insights -I’m tearing up just thinking of it now but I have it recorded and will watch it again and again
OMG - they were so adorable when they were little! I particularly enjoyed the pix showing them heartily laughing - don’t get to seem them laughing like that enough! It must be a huge relief to know that Anne is someone he can always rely on - particularly when one of his younger brothers and one of his sons are way out in orbit and determined to cause as much trouble as possible.
Guessing she is not getting the publicity she wanted 
^ Just apologize to Lady Hussey and say you overreacted to her questioning. Yes, it may have been irksome but it wasn't traumatizing and you mistakenly blew things out of proportion.
