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.
South Africa would like there jewels back
@MLeon The Cullen diamond was a gift. No return required.
@@nickfeighan4119
Well they’re not getting them back. No takesies backsies 😂😂😂
@MLeon
Didn’t you watch the documentary? The star of Africa was a gift.
Did you happen to learn any history of how they were taken??
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. 🇬🇧👏👏👏
She knew about Camilla. Diana was used.
she gifted Diana and had to be returned upon divorce
On way to keep meggies mitts off of them!
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.
Charlotte certainly looks like her late grandmother doesn't she?!
Rest in peace ma'am 🇬🇧

yes she does I thought I was the only one who noticed that
Blood diamond 💎. Respect and love for mother Africa !
It’s nice to watch but I can’t help but remember that. The way miners were treated was horrible

The largest colonial empire in history, the British Empire, which ruled an area of some 34 million square kilometers, plundered, slaughtered and exploited those backward countries, killing 150 million people in Asia, Europe, America and Africa.
Wow! Those emeralds are stunning. This is wealth that even the wealthiest cant afford, unless they are royalty
...and even the wealthiest cannot access, without the subjugation, slavery, and oppression of many, MANY other civilizations over many centuries... Hip hip!
@@conspiracytheorista8988 The British state owns them.. not the Royals.
Hearing about where the jewels came from and who they ended up with is very interesting. The current value of them is mind blowing.
No, of course those diamonds were al from English grounds.
Those grounds just happen to be not be part of the island where London is located.
Colonialism made England the richest country back then.
Africa is the richest continent on earth. If only the African people would stick together.
@@doroparker1702 It's not about sticking together, it 's about having a low IQ because of genetics. They are made to be dominated and enslaved by smarter humans.
Don't Travel to England, They hate Americans and will Harrass You the hole time...
@@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.
Bo Jo was the party boy and Liz Truss couldn't stomach much.
Let's see what comes next.
With a good cup of tea and the dry British humor the island will survive somehow.
@@doroparker1702 i really read about those jewelry they are stolen from africa india middle east and others countries and even king edward 3 knows that
My goodness, our Queen was such a dazzling beauty in her young days and remains beautiful even in her 90s
I just love Queen Elizabeth, I love hearing her biography. She was and is beautiful.
I agree. She was indeed a beautiful young woman and still is. With a beautiful warm heart.
I’m not British but I adore the queen she looks very lively and radiant for her age
@@janavarrette9206 Thank you, isn't she just. Such a down to earth person, which makes us love her more. ❤️
In the war, the then princess Elizabeth learned how to take a truck engine apart & put it back together again. Amazing woman! 🏴🇬🇧
I do love the Diamond Diadem that George IV made and that Queen Elizabeth wears to and from the State Opening of Parliament.
No one wore Royal jewels quite like Queen Mary. I’ve always had this fascination with her and her era. She loved her jewels and surely she did not believe in “the less is more,” statement. I think she would have worn them all if she could.
I remember being so blown away when I saw the treasures of the Tsar's. I cannot imagine what it would be like to see these.
When I went to London, we made it a point to go to the Tower of London so we could experience the Crown Jewels. It was absolutely amazing. When I was standing I front of the coronation crow I was in awe. You should go some time if you can!

Beautiful, sparkling,alluring jewellery!Truly an international language!👌💐
I think most of us 'girlie girls' would LOVE to wear one of those tiaras! Even for a day.

The hard work and efforts show.
Well done 👑
Thank you for your hard work.
That was a very elegant family
Hard work of looting and stealing you mean

I guess what I find amazing about the Crown Jewels is the history on which they were worn.
Love you so much queen Elizabeth 2 💔

@@joeyreyes5792 I think the figure is 45 trillion!? I could look it up...
Princess Diana's wedding veil diamond terra has forever been my favorite. But the entirety of Crown Jewels collection is the finest in the world. That scepter is GORGEOUS. UGH I can watch this anymore lol 😆
She wore the Spencer family tiara for her wedding. Nothing to do with this.
Knowing where they came from and how they were acquired would be more interesting
Stolen
The South African government gave them to the British government.
Most of them were gifts from other kings and emperors around the world, it's actually not that interesting.
@Rob2021 huh?
Just know that the jewels were never gifted, many countries have been colonised by the British. Do people really think the Kings & Queens of those countries would give them away? The British Empire is built off thievery and greed.
The Queen needs to allow and encourage her lady family members to wear nice jewels too! She looks fabulous in hers.
They do, when deemed appropriate.
@@richardc8795 Not enough these days, yet the European royals do.
Love this part of this video of Charles & Diana in Australia with those beautiful emeralds.
I loved the Queen. I am an American and my family fought the Brits as we have been in the states since the 1600. But I have always admired her and England as well. She was a Woman for her time. How could you ask for more.
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.
I'm rather disappointed in the fact that Queen Elizabeth's Adamooka Opal necklace and earrings gifted to her on her first tour in Australia from their parliament. Made by Altman and Cherny wasn't mentioned! It's exquisitely Beautiful and should've been mentioned for its historical significance!
i'd like to see that
Oh my! I just googled it and you are correct. It should have been added. Gorgeous set.
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. 👑🫅💍
Opals bring bad luck...
The story of Queen Alexandra’s pearl story got ME DEAD 💀 LMAO 😂 46:28
Off topic but your hair is gorgeous!!!!!!
What a wonderful and informative video I'm quite impressed, thank you.
☕ Here is a cup of coffee.
This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace
Queenie
I love the Queen she was never horrible, never mean
She was a wonderful head of state,
with all the worlds problems on her plate, Like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions,
She was assiduous to her duties, carried out with Grace and Beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this Country,
A dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation!

Quite right

Exactly!!!!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
@@farahdibah5211 Let it go?! The English Monarch is base on it's history. Princess Diana came from a line of aristocracy background. She will always be loyalty no matter how you guys denies it. Even though she may have pass but she is part of history and well wishes will always mention her name in memorial of her. So instead of Let it go you guys should be the one deal with it seeing her name being mentioned even if you like it or not.
I've had the honor of seeing the Queen's jewels in the Tower and they are truly grand. That scepter is everything.
I did too. They are indeed beyond spectacular!
I have as well. The wait was definitely worth it, took more then an hour before we where allowed in
By allowed I mean until we got to the front of the line 😂
Its stolen

BONNIE M., I so very much loved that story about the diary. How extraordinary. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us viewers.
I visited London & toured the Crown Jewels. Absolutely amazing pieces.
Anne's curtsy to the queen on her wedding day was the most beautiful curtsy I've ever seen.
That’s what I thought 💭 love ❤️ Ann’s dress
St. Edward's Crown is not as ostentatious as the other crowns, but it is by far the most important in the collection. It is worn only once in a monarch's reign at the moment of crowning.
Actually you are wrong the the monarch can get rid of anything she wanted at one I think it was King squashed the Crown to fit his head, Queen Victoria for a time put Buckingham Palace up for sale saying " these commanding premises are up for sale."
@@martinisherwood2854 what are you talking about? Your reply is not clear at all. I was referring to St. Edward's Crown and the tradition that it is worn once in a monarch's reign...where exactly does selling stuff off come into this?
@@martinisherwood2854 Not Queen Victoria...the sign put up on the gate of Buckingham Palace in March 1864 was "these commanding premises to be let or sold in consequence of the late occupant declining business"...it was stuck there in humorous protest of Queen Victoria withdrawing from public duties after the death of Albert, while money continued to be spent on maintaining an empty palace.
@@baraxor It was actually Queen Victoria and the memories of Albert and am sure people were annoyed but the people can't sell Buckingham Palace it belongs to the Sovereign as the Crown then it gets past to the next Crown the last time I knew gold and stones can't own property it's the monarch themselves who are the Crown.
@@martinisherwood2854 Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the other Palaces actually belongs to the country
they are only hers "IN RIGHT OF THE CROWN" because she's the Sovereign
and the Crown doesn't always mean the Monarch
it can refer to the rule of law, the function of government and civil service
the crown is also the legal embodiment of executive, legislative and judicial Governance in the Monarchy of each country
Amazing video, the history behind these royalties is awesome to know
For the TRUE history, research what they did to other countries and civilizations to GET all their goodies...
The diamonds and jewels of the Royal Crown Jewels are beautiful and priceless.
"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.
as well as the fixation on Diana and the laughable low price estimates for the jewels
@@glamdolly30 the royal family have had at least one close kidnapping attempt. They take the advice of security experts who tell them not to buckle.
@@lizh1988 Sorry, I don't understand what you wrote - what's the 'close suicide attempt' got to do with seat belts?
Czar nikolas just takes me down with his looks... Oh my gosh!!!!
And you wore both with perfection, dear queen.
Such an interesting programme.
I had heard that opals despite their beautiful imbedded "fire" and colour were, nevertheless, considered unlucky.
An Australian friend told me that opals, unless moistened fairly consistently, were apt to shrink slightly, and fall out of their settings.
Very interesting histories. Thank you.
Opals have gel center. Exterior needs to be treated to keep center intact. A jeweler mentioned baby oil, but I’m not sure he was serious…
@@LunaShimmyDiva Opals are multi-coloured and consist of small spheres of silica arranged in a regular pattern, with water between the spheres.
Opals are unlucky unless they are your birth stone.
I love opals...
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?
I love the stories such as Queen Elizabeth wearing the broach Queen Victoria got from ber beloved husband
The royals seem to receive gifts like no other....
Yeah it's amazing how the riches of other poverty stricken countries are so often 'gifted' to them. What's worse is taking them thinking they actually deserved it for their work in dominating their land. Why not let the country keep their own jewels and help set up independence immediately but that would defeat the purpose of the monarchy.
During my 1st visit to England moons ago as a kid, I had the chance to see some of the Crown Jewels (including imperial crown & scepter) which were on display for few days. 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.
I did too. I was so enamored with them and looked at hubby and said “you need a new job”
@@lisadennis9057 ßs
I agree, those jewels are priceless
Wow
There are priceless they mean a lot they were made for the universe they have a true owner and they know that
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.
Crown jewels are not a symbol of power & class anymore. They are a symbol of tradition. I adore seeing them being worn.
Maggie Pigg the Crown Jewels are rarely worn, they are used for the coronation
and our Queen wore the Imperial State Crown after and its used in the state opening of parliament
once a year
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.
The pricing of the jewels are well below what they are worth. In orders of magnitude!
To be fair, the Crown Jewels aren’t insured and chances are that they haven’t been properly appraised. So historical significance alone gives them value
All this while people starve throughout the world!
@@dakotaanderson7905 they are uninsurable, they are priceless
and every thing is know about the jewels
Agreed. There would be a tremendous bidding war if they ever went to auction, heaven forfend. 👑
I watch these documentary stories all the time. 😊

I enjoy learning the history of these crown jewels. It is quite fascinating.

I have seen the Sha from Iran's jewels. Thy were simply amazing
Simply lovely! Wonderful program.
“Todays prices” are irrelevant. Anybody who could afford to purchase this jewelry if it was ever sold would probably pay 10x more than it was. The history is more valuable than the stones themselves.
5:05 To enhance its value the Cullinan diamond "had to be carefully cut into as many pieces as possible"... NOT TRUE! They wanted as FEW pieces as possible so the cut diamonds could be as huge and stunning as could be!
He meant as many faceted pieces as possibe
Once when rehearsing on stage at the Vienna Staatsoper, Birgit Nilsson's string of pearls broke. While helping her retrieve them, conductor Herbert von Karajan asked, "Are these real pearls bought with your La Scala fees?" Nilsson replied, "No, these are fake pearls bought with your Vienna Staatsoper fees."

Seems like most of the jewels came from India and Africa and the Middl3 East.
They literally stole like 43 trillion pounds worth of jewels, jewellery, gold and etc from india like wtf
@Tamara Charm it’s not a fake monarchy it’s what monarchys have done for hundreds of years. Don’t watch shit like this if u wanna sit n moan about then. Shit happens
Before colonisation they had nothing.
@@preet5033 Britain didnt directly steal 45 trillion
the vast vast VAST majority of that was just from tarrifs and other such merchantile exploitation , honestly it was quite smart , though it was a harsh form of capitalism
india had always exported alot of goods but the british managed to completely dominate the indian trade and thus the tea and mutch of the spice trade
but most of that was over a period of 200 + years
since the tarrifs , Merchantile policies , preferential trade etc really added up over such a long period
its the same way the dutch dominated the Spice trade in the 1600 and 1700s as they were nearly unaposed in the East indies / Indonesia , the dutch didnt get rich of plundering indonesia , they got rich by Dominating and tarrifing trade from the east indies spice trade .
another point is that a massive part , nearly half if im not mistaken of British india wasnt even Directly administered or owned by the british , with massive parts of india still being owned by the various princes , but all of them were vassals , protecterates , allies etc and paid some sort of tribute to the british
@@eaglefliesalone5465 no thats false , the scottish crown jewels were all gifts from the pope
and there were english crown jewels but they were all destroyed in in the late 1600s by oliver cromwell
☆☆☆ Lovely gifts to be given ! ☆☆☆
My favorite royal jewel is the Cambridge Emerald Crown.
It just looks so stunning.
The setting, the design, the look and the quality of the jewelry is all flawless.
:D
Not just a long and dramatic history but a BLOODY history...and this is the reason why I don't gush over tiaras or priceless jewels because how they have been obtained from the mining of precious stones to their acquisition will always be marred with the spilling of blood.
just appreciate the beauty of the gem's. your thought pattern will never lead to a peaceful existence in your mind.
@@jreg2007 Appreciation of the gems and awareness of the bloody history are not mutually exclusive, my dear.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 correct. but why waste mental energy over something you can't change
@@jreg2007 Being aware of historical events is not a waste of mental energy. That is why history is studied. Being ignorant is more a waste of time and mental energy, on the other hand.
Me too
At 8:18 the photograph of Queen Mary is said to show her wearing The Lesser Stars of Africa brooch, but she is in fact wearing the Cullinan I and Cullinan II as a brooch, and The Lesser Stars of Africa as part of her necklace. As far as I know, this is the only time the two largest diamonds were ever worn in this way, and it was done before they were set into the crown and scepter respectively. This was done when they had first been cut, and gifted to the monarch. They can be taken out of their settings and worn like this again, but no one ever has.
The Cullinan I is over 500 carats, over a third of the total weight of the original rough stone. The original stone weighed a pound and a half. It is easy to assume this diamond alone weighs in around a half a pound by itself. That is just far too heavy to wear for any length of time. She is wearing it on a dress over a very firm corset, if you put it on a modern dress it would pull the dress down, cause it to sag, and possibly tear it.
@ivoryandcat, I think that our Queen wore the Cullinan 1 and 2 brooch during the Thames pageant on her diamond Jubilee...I could be wrong.
Lots of countries have tried to get their stuff back that were taken from their museums by the occupying English army.
It's said about 90% of the items on display in the British Museum falls into this category.
Queen girl I am so happy to see her and her friends and family and friends and family I am very proud to have her in our life I am very grateful to her and her husband for the wonderful things she did to us I love her and I’m very proud to be a mother to my children I am very thankful to her and my family and all the families who are in my family I am happy
I'm waayyyy too broke to watch this🤣🤣😅😅but here i am...loving beautiful jewelry 🥰👍
😂😂😂
Nothing shines like a diamond.
I believe the Queens is not so fond of the semi precious Amethysts... but it’s one of my favourite.
HM has a beautiful suite of amethyst jewellery. It is very 'grand' so is possibly not worn in public much? It's a shame though as HM looks beautiful in purple.
Amethyst is my favorite gemstone
Nice observation I see a lack of gold in tiaras too like wtf?
Honestly i have no attraction or not fond of gemstone like diamond gold or so
Dunno why feels like waste of money
@@criticalhard Diamonds will pick up surrounding color. That is why they are put in white metals, to make the diamonds appear whitest.
Really amazing
Wow!
Diamonds usually from Middle East & Africa. Thanks for sharing…
South Africa to be exact
Oh, to be honored enough to see those jewels!!! Nevermind ACTUALLY wearing them😍❤💙💜💎💍💎💍
Hello I am fazza, Greetings from the royal throne.
Would love to see even just the replicas of these crown jewels because they definitely passed from the olden generation since time immemorial.
You can fly to London and go see the real things for yourself in the Royal Vault; however, no cameras are allowed.
What I would love to see is that they give back all the stolen items they’ve amassed over the centuries. 💯👌🏾
Have a cup of ☕ coffee.
@@EgunBiyi.OrisaYege Wind you neck in! They were typically either gifted or bought.
@@EgunBiyi.OrisaYege childish comments. The jewels in many cases were gifted by company owners. Please point to one stolen item
Thank you for this ❤
top quality work, this documentary.
Oh my how they sparkle
WOW! BEAUTIFUL CROWNS AND JEWELRY!!!!

“Me-grains”... lol 😂 I’ve never heard migraines pronounced that way.
I know! As painful as they are, I had to smirk! 🥴
Neither have I. Lol!!
the english are always saying words all weird like.
It’s almost like if you don’t have a heavy Tiara weighted by thousands of diamonds and precious stones, you are not entitled to have me-grines to begin with; if you do, you should feel rich, as you share the same problem as Queen Victoria did.🤪
Thats because you do not speak
English proper.
There is a lot to learn about this.. According to history many of these treasures came from other countries. Gems, diamonds, money etc., were taken from middle east countries throughout different eras.
And Africa.
@@nanettematthews2264 And India
And Iran!, Kôohe noor, King Nader
☕🍰Have some coffee.
I forget Indians and Africans have never stole anything.
A very interesting historical documentary.
Loved watching this💎
This is complicated
But i'll replay it over and over again just to understand
Simple all this is looted from India and Africa by the british
The caption says "peru", then "parua", but they all actually said parure which is a set of matching jewelry or in this case containing emeralds.
You tube has some of the worst closed captioning of any site in existence. I'm always amazed at how badly it's done, especially since it's not a live broadcast.
I am very glad to see how wonderful the history of the Royal families and their jewels... Very interesting ♥️...
Thank you
The Royal Jewels history is absolutely fascinating and incredible! I do wish however that people would get off this ‘the only jewel is Diana’ Yes, she was a wonderful person and very special lady who did a great things but whenever she left the Royal family she left all that behind her. I think she got plenty of some jewels in return.
Diana’s sapphire engagement ring was Harry’s after her death.When William got engaged to Kate, Harry gave it to him....that was in the documentary her sons did for her @ the 20th anniversary of her death.
William swapped the watch for the ring.
@@dooler72 exactly !!! This keeps coming up as if harry did a favour....., he simply switched it with the watch as you said... harry did one smart thing once in his life knowing the ring should be on the hand of a future Queen because sadly their precious mother did not get a chance. As if harry didn't know he will never be king because Williams children were gonna be before him...why can't his filthy wife understand this ! 😒
.
So what ?
@@shirleyminassian1547 Why is his wife dirty? I am absolutely sure she has a bathe as often as you do. Our colours are not symbols of dirt, just melanin. Thank you.
@@shirleyminassian1547 Wow. Clearly I do not live under a rock and having friends of colour does not eliminate you from being a racist. In fact it tends to be that people who are racists use this as a defence mechanism. You appear to be up to date on all of her wrong doings, so do a documentary on her wrong doings you idiot, seeing that you and the rest of us are all perfect. What an asinine comment.
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.

llp
He traded it for that watch Meghan always wears now.
Lol
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!
Queen Mary was well known for her love of all things aesthetically pleasing.
Eugene is a great example of how to use the word on the internet to describe the world of the internet and how to use it to describe the internet in a way that is not only a very good example of how the internet is a great place to start but also a great example for the world of how to get the internet going again
