I get my crowns all mixed up, sorry. I thought that was a picture of the crown Queen Elizabeth wears when she opens Parliament. I did, however, go back and do my research. They sort of all look alike.
However, this article does an excellent job of setting them all straight. The Duchess of Cambridge will wear the Queen Mother's Crown when she becomes Queen Consort.
Crowns – Royal Exhibitions
The one she wears for the 'State Opening of Parliament' is 'THE CROWN'
(only ever worn by the Monarch)
The Imperial State CrownThe Imperial State Crown is one of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and symbolises the sovereignty of the monarch
1937
The State Crown is the one which the sovereign wears during his or her reign
The crown is worn by the monarch on leaving Westminster Abbey at the end of his or her coronation. It is also worn or carried at the annual State Opening of Parliament
..Usually, it is taken to the Palace of Westminster under armed guard in its own carriage and placed in the Robing Room, where the Queen dons her robes and puts on the crown before giving her speech to Parliament
