According to Deutsche Welle:
The St. Edward’s Crown has been moved to an undisclosed location for modification in preparation for the coronation of King Charles III next year…
Versions of St. Edward’s Crown are believed to have been used by monarchs since the 11th century. The current version was made for Charles II in 1661 as a replacement for the original, which was melted down in 1649 after the House of Commons abolished the monarchy…during the English Civil War.
The crown was last worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953. It will now be worn by King Charles III at his coronation on May 6.
