That leaves themost widely accepted theory of “the crowns of the seven kings” hinting at the Dwarves.
These clans were founded by the original seven Dwarves created by the Vala Aule.

This recurring motif suggests that the number seven often represents an idealized or complete set of something significant.

He assumes Gandalf is chasing crowns because he himself has spent his life chasing power.
But where Saruman fails, Gandalf succeeds.
