Now published in 107 countries and more than 47 languages, Jeffrey Archer is firmly established, with international sales passing 275 million copies, and over 500,000 5* reveiws.
He is the only author ever to have been a number one bestseller in fiction (nineteen times), short stories (four times) and non-fiction (The Prison Diaries).
I was at a lunch once (back in the 90s) with Jeffrey Archer and he made an unnecessary and critical (if not downright rude) remark about the size of my waistline. Well Jeffrey, I see you...
Is Kane and Abel based on John Rockefeller Jr and Andrew Carnegie? After reading this book, I can't stop guessing who are the main characters due to great curiousness. Rockefeller refused to rise the price of oil transportation as a support for and Friend of Andrew, Thomas Scott died of bankruptcy. This is the motive for Andrew to surpass Rockefeller about property. Andrew is an immigrant and has only one daughter. His life is as same as what Abel experienced
The rounded arches are the wrong shape. The current version of the real crown has flattened arches. The original 1937 version had arches that were more angular, and flared out slightly from the top.
As a collector of replicas, I can instantly tell it's a fake, because the arches are rounded. When originally made for George VI, the arches were higher, and flared out slightly at the top. Elizabeth II had them flattened, to better suit her smaller physical size---though it made the crown look like an elephant had stepped on it.

I know we are watching a 'scripted' movie to wake up the masses. This has got to be an actor from Central Casting wearing a A.I skinsuit, with the best (out of this world) A.I voice changer. Kudos to the actor willing to remove his false teeth to play the sicko Archer. Go White Hats! You beauties!
Hello sir, I want to share a person who introduced you to our South Indians Bharathi Bhaskar. She explains your stories in a Language Tamil and it’s all pure nail biting.. you are most wanted in our great novelist list sir.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PcsepE9pRTA.htmlsi=6OCFx8JQuP3z39lV
I agree! A movie with twists and turns you don't expect. Laugh out loud funny in places. And, who doesn't love the wonderful Newman and Redford chemistry.
This is a reconstruction of how it looked in 1937, for the coronation of King George VI (which is how it remained till the end of his reign). I think that's when Jeffrey Archer's story is set. The arches were lowered for the coronation of his daughter, Queen Elizabeth, in 1953, because it was thought that made the crown look more feminine. (King Charles III was apparently happy to keep the more 'feminine' look as it wasn't altered back to high arches for him.)
Interesting video regarding a noble task. However, with all due respect, any professional jeweler, gemologist, or even educated and experienced lovers of diamond will instantly recognize that your creation is not the real crown. Why? Because your copy is not set with genuine diamonds. Full stop. Your craftsman clearly used a type of diamond simulant that does not come close to the brilliance, fire, and scintillation that one sees when observing cut and polished diamond. Whether they are cubic zirconia or colorless sapphire, the stones mounted in your recreation do not come close to replicating the immediate impression one gets when viewing the Imperial State Crown (ISC). Indeed, when observing the genuine ISC, the observer is met with a nearly overwhelming riot of sparkle and color that dazzles the eye from every viewing angle. This look is simply impossible to recreate without using genuine diamond material. On the plus side, your craftsman gets credit for the frame: The architecture and proportions nicely replicate the ISC of King George VI. And your craftsman has also earned points for replicating a respectable copy of the Black Prince's Ruby (actually a spinel) by including the ruby "plug" at the top of the stone. Finally, you may wish to reduce the size of the black ermine tail tips that encircle the bottom of the cap of maintenance because they appear slightly larger than the genuine article. Ciao!
I started reading it and at the starting, when Fitzgerald opened the door and the alarm went , of the way you said that it was an amateur's mistake but he was a professional's professional was amazing sir.
Kane and Abel was the first proper novel i ever read aged about 14. Fast forward 36 years and 1000 books later, and it's still the best.It's a stunningly brilliant book. So enjoyable. I envy anybody who is reading it for the first time.
The arches are quite high just like the original one in the 1930s, but it looks almost identical except that the imperial state crown now has lower arches and Charles didn’t have it altered back to its original height before his coronation.
Crown jewels have been stolen several times. They were stolen from Westminster Abbey in the early 14th century. Colonel Blood stole St Edward's Crown and the sceptre in 1671, but didn't get far. Then the Irish Crown jewels were stolen in 1903.
Wow.. I can't believe it. How shall it be that a man with writing skills of such ordinance be so remote and not famous on RU-vid? I read "As the crow flies" and It was one of the best fictions I had read in a long, long while. Please keep doing what you do.
