Ойын-сауық
With the eyes of the world on Her Majesty The Queen in light of this year’s Platinum Jubilee, Tatler kicks off the first of a fascinating new video series by exploring the British Crown Jewels.
In the first episode of How it Started, How it's Going, expert Joe Kendrick investigates the Coronation Regalia, delving into three of its most significant - and dazzling - pieces: St Edward’s Crown, the Sovereign’s Orb, and the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, uncovering how these historic objects have evolved through time.

It's hard for Americans, but that's the first part of nailing down a UK accent.
For those who are wondering why they're picture of 2 different orbs. Is because of the double Coronation of William III and Mary II

Yes. There is the Sovereign's Orb, and Queen Mary's Orb, since William III and Mary II were co-rulers an extra set of Regalia had to be created for their joint coronation in 1689.

@@baraxor Technically, couldnt the sovereign choose to use Mary's orb instead at the coronation? Its not like one is significantly older or anything.
A most excellent analysis. Might I add, and delivered in a truly genuine and authentic, vacant, monotone twang that only an American can deliver. Marvellous! 👏 Bloody marvellous! 👏👏👏

I actually knew the bit about the cap inside the crown to fit the Monarch's head. I only knew that because about 20 years ago, I took a trip to London, saw the crown jewels, and asked the docent how they accommodated different-sized heads (being someone with a freakishly large head, it's always something I wonder about.)
Such a handsome gentleman!
I didn't realise how heavy the Orb was and it was interesting to see the details of the crown. An engaging watch. :)

Hahahahaha yes i was thinking the same😂
St. Edward's Crown was kept at Westminster Abbey as a sacred relic of Edward the Confessor; after it was nearly stolen in the reign of Edward I it was kept secure at the Tower of London, beginning the custom of keeping the Crown Jewels there. When Henry IV forced Richard II off the throne, he bolstered his legitimacy by having himself crowned with St. Edward's crown. It was likely that the arches (and "small bells") were added at this time to what was an open coronet. Prior to Henry IV, monarchs would have a personal crown made to be specially blessed and used for their coronation. It's this kind of "working crown" that were the spiritual ancestors of the Imperial State Crown. From George I through Victoria, monarchs used a State Crown of wirework fitted with rented jewels in lieu of St Edward's Crown, because such crowns were both lighter and more impressively dazzling with jewels. Edward VII originally intended to be crowned with St. Edward's Crown, but its weight was deemed too much for the king to bear (Edward being elderly and still recovering from an appendectomy). St. Edward's Crown is worn by the new Sovereign from the moment of crowning, through the inthronization and receiving the homage of the Peers. It's exchanged for the Imperial State Crown shortly before the final Recess from the Abbey. The Scepter with the Cross is given to the new Sovereign just before the crowning, together with the Scepter with the Dove. The Scepter with the Cross represents the monarch's executive power, and the Scepter with the Dove represents the monarch's judicial power, or power of grace. The Orb is the "working" version of the latter, and so like St. Edward's Crown it is exchanged for the Scepter with the Dove shortly before the monarch departs the Abbey.

Correction: It's only when the crowned Monarch is female (a Queen Regnant) that the Peers and Peeresses of the Realm put their coronets on their heads. If the Monarch is a King, only the Peers put on their coronets when The King is crowned. While The Peeresses' turn is when The Queen (a Queen Consort) is crowned.
Lookin sharp af delivering the information. Thank you! Lol. I used to work in jewelry manufacturing for major labels and now…😂 I make video games….I could totally see myself doing this if I never left so idk this is cracking me up. It’s fascinating that they rented their jewels! You should all do more videos like this. Edit: okay you’ve answered my question here. I figured they must’ve had something on the interior that changed the size as it perplexed me as to how they got the crown to fit on so many heads!

Absolutely 'nothing' - not even a side reference - to the 'Honours of Scotland', which are older than any of these. I guess Britain in this case refers to England and Wales, but if so, then the prince's crown, and those of the Queen Consorts and George III's tiara should also have been mentioned.
