      @phyllis brady People always get this wrong! Long before Queen Victoria, a deal was struck between George IV and parliament. The deal was that the proceeds from the Crown Estate (the land and property and businesses owned by the Crown) would ALL go to the government. In return, the government would provide the Royal Family with an annual income from the Treasury. Parliament got the better deal by far. Income from the Crown Estate is more than 5 times the amount given to the Royals, so the Treasury and the Country do very well indeed out of the Crown. So no, HM Queen Elizabeth, like HM Victoria before her does not feed off the taxpayer. They contribute far more than they take.

      @@starthelotus3453 "as an unmarried young woman Victoria was required by social convention to live with her mother, despite their differences over the Kensington System and her mother's continued reliance on Sir John Conroy. Her mother was consigned to a remote apartment in Buckingham Palace, and Victoria often refused to meet her.When Victoria complained to Lord Melbourne that her mother's close proximity promised "torment for many years", Melbourne sympathised but said it could be avoided by marriage, which Victoria called a "shocking alternative".She showed interest in Albert's education for the future role he would have to play as her husband, but she resisted attempts to rush her into wedlock. Victoria continued to praise Albert following his second visit in October 1839. Albert and Victoria felt mutual affection and the Queen proposed to him on 15 October 1839, just five days after he had arrived at Windsor.They were married on 10 February 1840, in the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace, London."

    In 2016, the coronet was sold to a foreign buyer for $6.5 million. When the buyer applied for an export license, uproar ensued, and an export ban was imposed. A search began for a UK buyer that could match the asking price. It took a year for an Irish American hedge fund billionaire to appear. His name was William Bollinger. The new V&A jewelry gallery is named in his honor.

      Queen Victoria had 9 children, all of whom inherited jewellery and other items from her. Their families inherited in turn, and because tax levels on deceased estates are high, 40 percent, items have to be either sold or given in lieu of tax, because not everyone has millions sitting around in cash to pay the tax. The only exempt items are those left to the Sovereign as sovereign, rather than as an individual. In recent years Princess Margaret's family sold some of her collection, as did the Duke of Gloucester, both to pay inheritance tax.

      I must say I'm a little surprised King George and Queen Mary gave it to her daughter and didn't save it for the next monarch ( private though it was). Queen Mary was famous for accumulating scattered royal treasures, not dispensing them. I'm glad it's still in the UK but I think it would have been better if they had bought Princess Mary her own tiara like George VI did for Princess Margaret.

      gillyweedniharry. It was. It was given by King George V to his daughter Mary, The Princess Royal. After her death her family it for taxes, i believe. It was purchased and donated to the museum to prevent it from leaving the country. I often wondered why it wasn't purchased by the Queen to keep in the family.

      I would if the museum would loan it to a British royal for an event, like the Queen does with her tiaras.

    For.. The V&A... What would really make this item even more valuable and even more desirable to go and see. Is if Catherine...The Princess of Wales. Were to be Invited to wear it... Even just Once.
    That then, would Increase the Interest in this Amazing Piece. However; I think its perhaps too small and delicate for Queen Camilla it might get loast in her hairstyle.

      That has happened to quite a lot of items. They pass through family members after the death of original owner and get sold to pay death duty. In recent years it happened to some of Princess Margaret's collection. Either sold or given to museums in lieu of tax.

    The portrait shows Queen V wearing the coronet on the back of her head wrapped around her hair.
    I can't remember the name of that style of hair but it always looks so regal.

      It depends. The fibers of cotton gloves may snag in pieces like this, and latex gloves seem to come with problems, too. From what I learned from watching clips loke this, bare well-washed hands (no lotion!) will do better than gloved hands in many cases.

      @@caligulalonghbottom2629 these days even books tend to be handled with bare hands. gloves mean you lose some dexterity and being slightly too rough with a book is worse than oils from your skin. So we're just asked to handle things as little as possible and to make sure we have washed our hands right before handling.

    • @mscott3918
      @mscott3918 5 лет назад +2

      Some very good answers here. Another problem with gloves, when handling jewellery, is that they make fingers slightly less flexible and sensitive, so it would be quite easy to lose grip on the item, and drop it.
