The Crown Jewels: A Peek Inside the Jewel House 

I immediately thought of that old song but instead of “it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing” it’s “you can’t be a king if you ain’t got that bling” 😆

Yes, please!

@@mbgal7758 Of course you did. That's the line they swiped. I believe they thought everyone would know that. I am not of that time, but even lol know that line, which has become a pop tune line over here.

The king of bling! Charles the 2nd

you mean STOLEN jewls do your history

Lol 🤣

Any press is good

She’s probably a lot of people’s great great great grandma by this point

History has its eyes on youuu

Going down in history 😭😂😂😂

So do I. An explanation of where they come from, who gave which to the queen, and when/where she wore them on specific occasions, intending which message exactly. For instance I learned today that the Queen wore a brooch given by the Obamas, during Trump’s state visit. I would love to see the brooch, as I didn't know the anecdote at the time. Those jewels have still so much to teach us!

What they mean is that your a slave/peon and she is your master. Keep on licking their asses while every taxpayer in Britain is stuck with a 100,000,000 bill to pay for their "life style". Oh, but they work so hard!!!!! I forgot. Have fun paying taxes for a health care system they have all but dismantled with people waiting 2 years to see a doctor. I bet that bitch NEVER waited an hour to see one of her fancy homeopathic doctors. Pretty soon all the pubs in Britain will close for good because of fucked up government priorities but the prols really don't need them...... OH, BUT THE JEWELS!!!!! I have never seen such blind, unquestioning, sycophantery in all my life as there is on this page. Grow a brain.

Yeah! And they weren't stolen from anyone/country etc..not did anyone die making them! 😉

i will do you one better, how about a video about all the paruer( set of matching jewels ment to be worn together) in the royal collection ❤

Yes to the tiaras video 👸

Crazy Canadian the media are not given access to the royal vaults

@@lsmith9249 There's a lots of documents, blogs and sites about tiaras and jewellery of royal houses around the world. Some of them keep updating collections continously.

I also do videos on history of tiaras and royals.come have a look!❤

Hello

I guess it’s weight and silver and gold is quite malleable bends east

The State Crowns were mostly gold alloy wire. Very easy to break under any kind of pressure.

Pure gold is very soft.

Despite being of some Irish extradition, I have to say I like Cromwell quite a bit more than most members of the royal family (tho. that says more about how little good there is to say on the royal family's behalf than about Cromwell's personal qualities). He did invite the Jews back to England, at the very least.

@@jeandehuit5385 yeah it’s interesting I was kind of wonder if the English Civil War had happened in the 18th century like the French revolution would we see Cromwell in a different light.

@@happycake2234 His reputation has been all over the place. IIRC the Victorians liked him, but that doesn't say much, b/c the Victorians didn't have as great a grasp on English history as they liked to think they did (they liked King John, for example, IIRC on the grounds that Magna Carta helped further British Constitutionalism--both minority views today, as I understand)

@@jeandehuit5385 Yes, Cromwell, the man who essentially banned happiness from England and beat the shit out of Scotland… compared to a 90 year old with shiny gemstones and charity sponsorships 🤨

@@Edmonton-of2ec He banned theatre, Christmas, & enacted an unusually bloody war against the Irish. I'm not unaware of the man's flaws. But you can't compare him to the current queen, b/c Cromwell had the task of actually *ruling* a government, not just sitting on a gilded chair & cut ribbons. He's bound to screw up more often & said screw ups are going to have larger consequences. And despite his other flaws, he appears to have genuinely been against the institution of monarchy: despite the common image of him eagerly positioning his son as successor, it appears Cromwell spent many, *many* years without naming a successor despite strong pressure to do so. He only named his son Richard as heir near the very end of his life at a point when that pressure was the strongest. One would expect that, if he truly expected to be succeeded by his son in the monarchical fashion, he would associate his son in government early on as the kings did. Cromwell did not do this, & Richard Cromwell was only positioned to succeed when Cromwell was practically on his deathbed. Was this the mark of an ad-hoc military junta rather than an actual republic (or even a functioning government)? Yeah, pretty much. But considering that when the royals ruled things operated at nearly-equal level of disfunction, I have to give Cromwell some credit for his heart being in the right place at least some of the time.

I'd also love to see where they actually stole alot of the jewels from 😅 which we all know

@@Hidaya1986 The spoils of war, or confiscations from murderous foes… Such treasures were originally “sourced/stolen” by the local rulers of the times and regions…

@@cindiloowhoo1166 Colonisation dear 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

Here's a breakdown: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NIS1c2crXA4.html

@@Hidaya1986 waahh

I just saw them in May 2024. I thought I would be blinded by the dazzle coming off of the jewels. I also remember that giant punch bowl.

Honestly wish she was my European history teacher

Beautiful and smart with a great sense of humor

Maybe it’s because she almost never stutters

Yup

There is that. However, there are certain tones that irritate me for some reason. Im getting a little condescending tone from it. *shrugs* maybe its just me.

Beautiful jewels so lovely.

Cant you go to the uk?

@@namename3130 Can't afford to travel, even within the USA. At least where I live is nice.

@@mrs.g.9816 nothings impossible

if they were privately owned by our Queen, she could leave them to whoever she liked, but they are left to every Monarch

@@lsmith9249 I suppose that someday CowMilla will wear them. That would be like Edward VII letting one of his "loose women" wear the jewels.

@@SymphonyBrahms THE SPELLING IS CAMILLA and like all Queen Consorts she will wear the consorts crown and Edward VII was not married to any of the women you refer to and Diana was the most loose woman in royal history and had numerous affairs

omg,i always see you commenting on MiraRae's video

@@oa_games2234 omg! thank you for noticing me? 😅 I do love Lindsay and Rae’s videos. They are my two favourite RU-vid channels

It's like the Elder wand.

The irony is that after getting the Kohinoor, the British were so keen to make it sparkle that they cleaved and chipped away almost half of its mass before giving up...no matter how fine the faceting, the Kohinoor isn't a very brilliant stone despite its name.

Periods!

A bunch of tiaras from the Romanovs ended up with Queen Elizabeth

I'd bet there's book's written about that & some jewelry has gone to auctions but doubt many went ✌

@@impalamama7302 yes, they were bought by British royal "relatives" for pennies in return for mediocre bread and board... basically stolen...

@@marinaperkins9648 Too right. The particular favorite tiara that Queen Elizabeth favored most and has been most photographed was one of the Romanov tiaras. Her grandfather, in spite of resembling his cousin Tsar Nikolas so much they could pass for brothers, did very little to save the lives of the Tsar and his family from the Bolsheviks.

@@impalamama7302 yes, that's the Vladimir tiara and yes, the British RF first offered asylum to the Romanovs, then withdrew the offer and did nothing to save them... disgusting...

Definitely! I'm keeping a coronation video in my back pocket to release when there actually is a coronation. But QEII is pretty healthy so I may end up doing it before then.

@@LindsayHoliday cool also interested in the more obscure and oldest pieces.

@@LindsayHoliday time to take that video out of your back pocket 😅

yes the Queen is a great woman , can we chat privately so we get to know each other more

There's probably a lot of jewels, well stones that people wear and don't know where they originated from.. unless you mined it yourself, I'm not sure how people can point fingers. They do realize that slavery and the mining of stones and metals still go hand in hand to this day right? I'm sure there are Stones and precious metals that are stolen, but all of them? that's pretty ridiculous..

What about his ballerinas?

Family love!

Well she didn't have plenty of men to choose from.

Yes, say that to British royalists, they become slaves in a second.

Yes

the stones were stolen a dozen times before the british got their hands on them

i see that too, but unlike you its not only about the british. Its about the previous owners too who were also killed, enslaved and murdered, or do you think the indian leader got the gems by asking them nicely

@@yc__ they are too naive

@@malopephasha5341 naive, because i know that every country did bad things?

Her health is not doing very well right now IIRC. When you have a married couple who has been together that long, one partner rarely lives much longer after the passing of their spouse.

I am still hoping that she will outlive Charles...

@@petercafrancisca4569 How presumptuous!

@@petercafrancisca4569 Outlive Chuckie the Cheater and Cruella de Homewrecker.

well…

I've never heard anybody pronounce it that way

Tragic???? To die young is tragic to die an old lady warm in her bed is a blessing

You wanted her live forever 🤣🤣

@@edwardceazarsantos4281 hi Edward

It was stolen. Your people died for it. Why are you proud? Has the apartheid thought black South Africans nothing lol?

@@inmyelementblue7186 Proud? Clea9i have a different meaning of the word "pride" or "proud" cause I certainly didn't use any of those words. I'm not what apartheid had anything to do with my comment and why is it linked to the Crown Jewels cause you have the wrong end of the South African history stick. You would have sounded more smart if you had said, "that was a piece of you that was stolen". I would have probably engaged you considering you know some South African history. Get your facts straight and use English terms appropriately. Enjoy your Sunday evening😉
