In the war, the then princess Elizabeth learned how to take a truck engine apart & put it back together again. Amazing woman! 🏴🇬🇧
My brother's mistress would not be getting any of my emeralds either haha way to go Queen Mary!
I saw the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London in 2004. (with my young daughters) We got there at opening & went straight to them. (figuring the line would get long) *They had a "moving floor" (like you use in airports) in front of the Crown Jewels to keep the line moving.* But since we were the only ones in there we kept walking backwards to look in awe! Finally a guard turned the floor off since we were alone & we got to really look at them! The Scepter & Crown with the largest Star of Africa diamonds were absolutely HUGE. Definitely worth the visit.

I think the last sentiment about why Queen Elizabeth II might have withheld jewels is spot on. Maybe you give these precious gifts, to princesses by marriage, after the 10th, 20th, 25th anniversaries. That seems genuinely smart. 🇬🇧👏👏👏

The Crown Jewels are not 'owned' by the Monarch; rather by the UK State, along with a wealth of other jewellery pieces which are then loaned to individual RF members. Other pieces are indeed privately purchased by members of the RF, and therefore can be bequeathed to family members. Gifts from other States usually form part of the jewellery loan 'pool' e.g. the diamond maple leaf gifted by the people of Canada, the Silver Fern Brooch from the people of New Zealand, and the white and yellow Wattle Brooch from Australia, and the list goes on.

@@lipstick318 If you think they harass Americans, try traveling in England as a German. You really need some special humor to turn tables around. Then you can have a great time at the pub. Some still are stuck in old centuries. In every pub somebody tells WWII stories and they do erect their arm for greeting the German guest. Do they think this is appreciated or funny? Well, in Germany you go into jail for greeting with erected arms. Raping children is a minor thing in court but greeting with Hitler Gruß is the biggest crime ever. Of course some English bloke brags about they won WWII even when born 50 years after WWII. Their friends usually try to calm them down, so it is not the whole pub against the German guests. Most English people are still in the mindset of Empire great Britain. When Brexit happened they were not worried about traveling in the next years. They said they always were able to travel anywhere, nothing would ever change because of Brexit. Now little by little they find out learning by doing. Covid regulations were not helpful in staying financially well. The new King Charles III starts a new Era. We keep our eyes peeled for news in Downing Street no. 10.

A Cult of Personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods to create an idealized, and at times, a ' god-like or a goddess-like ' public image, through Unquestioning Flattery and Praise. ( Charles, his deceased mother Elizabeth, William, Anne, Kate, Camilla including the other representatives) They represent an old cult-like institution with a very bad history and the following words would apply to it. Characteristics of a Cult. The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, ( Charles ) Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged. The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act and feel. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader and members, ( Charles and the other representatives ) The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society. The leader is extremely protected and does not give interviews. (Charles ) The leader is not held accountable to any authority. ( Charles ) Unquestioning adulation is expected from the followers. The old monarchy has an evil history. Racist, Incest, Adultery, Immorality, Tyranny, Brutality, Genocide, Slavery, Theft, Dysfunctional, Aloof, Extremely Secretive, Irrelevant, Suffocating Formality, Abnormal and a Prison - Like Lifestyle. Edward's and Simpson's allegiance to Hitler. Andrew / Epstein and Charles / Jimmy Savile. Diana's arranged / forced marriage to Charles and his horrible treatment of her.Philip and his affairs. Anne divorced. Andrew divorced . Charles divorced. Britain has a monarchical government with five Prime Ministers in a short period of 6 years.North Ireland without a functioning government for a period of two years.Yet the monarchy representatives and its followers claim that the monarchy provides stability for a government-! Henry VIII divorced two of his wives and the other two were BEHEADED-! Hanged, Drawn and Quartered.The "drawing" part actually comes first and it involves the convict being tied to a type of sled that's "drawn" or dragged behind a horse all the way from the prison to the gallows. Then he was hung by a rope tied from the gallows and around his neck. After a few terrifying minutes of near-asphyxiation, the rope was cut and the man fell down. Then his penis and testicles were cut off, his bowels were pulled out, his heart was cut out and all were burned before him in a fire. Next, his abdomen was slit open from groin to sternum. His head was severed from his body and his body cut into four quarters to be disposed of at the king's pleasure. The body parts were then taken on a publicity tour and distributed to the surrounding towns as a warning to those who would challenge the authority of the king. One of the main reasons for doing all of this was to demonstrate the absolute power of the monarchy. Burning at the Stake was another awful way to be killed. Not much wonder as to why Harry and Meghan turned their backs on the old Cult - Like monarchy with its Abnormal and Prison-Like Lifestyle. They preferred to have their FREEDOM. Possibly Kate has decided to have her FREEDOM as well.
Anne's curtsy to the queen on her wedding day was the most beautiful curtsy I've ever seen.

They were encased behind thick glass & ppl could only watch em for a minute or less before being told to move on. I couldn’t believe the size of those 2 Stars of Africa diamonds… They are indeed as big as stars with extraordinary fire. I asked a guide how much it costs to insure them. He responded that the cost was £0 bc those jewels are so valuable that can not be insured at all. Mind boggling.

Why then do some people covet Opals so much they are willing to sacrifice a lot to obtain 1 only so they can put it away in hiding along with other treasures which are never used from there anyway?

Hello I am fazza, Greetings from the royal throne.
A very interesting historical documentary.
My tiara is the mother moses tiara. I love it. I havent seen it in a while. I guess ill have to have another one made.
EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE
"And when Prince Charles will be crowned..." I snorted really loudly at that. Oh, the 90s. Back when they still thought he would be king one day...

Apparently being American I may be uninformed but wont Charles still become king when QE passes???? And I'm very interested in the answer to this question bc I hope like hell the crown passes him and given to PW instead! PC forfeited his birth right when he cheated on his wife, divorced her and had her murdered! I know ppls opinions and views on the matter vary but I firmly AND genuinely believe SOMEONE(possibly several) in the royal family put a hit out on PD when she officially divorced Charles and left the family. They knew as long as she was alive that there would be a great chance she would sing like a canary, ruining Charles chance to become king and/or possibly jeopardizing the monarchy altogether! So in order to keep the crown intact Diana HAD to go and I feel it with all my heart! And didn't QE tweak the rules a bit to where if Diana died that Charles would be completely free to remarry and still be crowned king? I thought BOTH their spouses had to be dead in order to remary?? And wasn't that changed right around the time Charles and Diana were going at it or the time Diana had passed??? Are either of you from that country or know the answer to that question ??? Also what is the general mood of the public when it comes to Charles still becoming king??? I know if I lived there and my hard earned tax dollars funded the royals cushy lifestyle I'd be HIGHLY pissed if Charles was still given the crown regardless of him breaking the rules/protocol! It's complete crap QE changed it for the sake of HER son BUT she wouldn't even be queen or have a crown to pass on had the duke of Windsor been able to marry Wallis. It's not okay for her uncle but perfectly fine for her son?! It pisses me off!(obviously!) lololol

@@onlytymewilltell Why on earth would the royal family have had Diana murdered? She was too dumb to be a threat to anyone but herself! She got herself killed because she made two fatal mistakes - the first was to turn down the Queen's offer of world class, Scotland Yard bodyguards and driver for life following her divorce, something the Queen felt her position as mother of the heir to the throne warranted. But petty Diana thumbed her nose at the offer and instead allowed the shady Al Fayed family to handle her security, and provide a drunk driver. Diana's other mistake was to fail to fasten her seat belt. The inquest was clear - if she had given her children a thought and buckled up, she'd have survived the crash like bodyguard Trevor Rees Jones who fastened his when he saw how crazily the chauffeur was driving. So how do you think Diana's 'murderers' made her fail to fasten her seat belt - telepathy? It was her own bad, irresponsible decisions that got Diana killed, no one else.

Objects given as gifts to the queen are not part of the Crown Jewels. Some are her personal jewels and some she holds in the name of the crown to be passed on to the next Monarch. I remember reading something about there being a difference in ownership if the jewelry was made before or after Queen Victoria.

Andamooka opals but yes, I have several small opals from our fields (I used to live in the north of South Australia) and the Queen’s piece is of very modern design & unusual. I suspect because it doesn’t glitter as much as the other jewels, it’s exempt from this video but also because it may not be part of the offical Crown (jewels) but rather from her own personal collection. 👑🫅💍

Great documentary ❤
William did NOT inherit his mother’s sapphire engagement ring. It was passed down to Harry. Diana knew that her oldest son would have access to many family jewels if he had wanted them for his fiancé. Harry was very close to Catherine and William and he offered it to William to give to Catherine when they became engaged. I think that was very gracious of Harry and now that it belongs to Catherine it will stay in the royal family through Williams line as king. I believe it will probably go to Princess Charlotte as Diana’s eldest granddaughter which I think is fitting.

I heard that Harry gave it to William so when Prince Charles becomes King, then it would be worn by the next Princess of Wales & then eventually - the Queen Consort!
I would estimate that the figures they present of what they're worth that they would actually sell for probably 10 times that at least. When you're talking royals and you're talking the historical significance.... Let me think about the DaVinci painting was recently sold for $460 million they thought it was going to go for half.
