The Royal Detective strikes again! Well, that answers Felis' question - there was a crown, and he didn't wear it. And ha, I knew F1 would not have passed by the opportunity to have one made for him.
...I wonder whether the crown is one of those things the current Head Hohenzollern wants either money for or back?
ETA: Yes, they do. (And that's a great close-up photo of the crown in question.) Go figure.

F1: You should see me in a crown. :D
But seriously, I was like 100% sure. How else could he hold his head up among the other crowned heads of Europe? Fritz and FW did it with an army, but this is F1!
Re current Hohenzollerns: my first reaction was, "It probably is, yeah," and sure enough. Nothing if not predictable, this latest generation!
