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.
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.)
I don’t doubt this guys expertise. But eff me, he sounds like he has all the enthusiasm of a five year old at a show and tell he doesn’t really want to go to.
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.
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.
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!
May the sun 🌞 continue to grill your IMPERIALISTIC/DEMONIC COUNTRY. , May all the stolen properties from other countries, become USELESS to you.. STAY FREEZING 🥶 THIS WINTER... #PIRATES....
No one died for the Cullinan diamond. As for the Indians they have a long tradition of killing each other for gems, long before the British arrived. Perhaps you should check out how the Imperial collection of jewels in Tehran were obtained.
What was the imperial State crown arches not rased to look like Charles Grand dad and Great Grand dad. It loos more compressed on his head . I dont tho k it was worked on at all . What do you thi k
@@LogBarc Ahh!! But if only It WAS On the crown my good man. You might wanna brush up on your history a bit 😉 The diamond ON the Crown is the Koh-i-Noor. Feel free to verify. :)
@@LordDim1 Agreed. But considering the title is 'The Evolution of the British Royal Crown Jewels' where even the Queen Mother's Royal Orb was shown, and also considering that it is not only a part, but in fact a prominent and one of the most well-known part of the Crown jewels, don't you think it ought to be mentioned? Unless the miss is deliberate because of the long-standing controversy over it..
@@work204 I mean, this video exclusively covered the coronation regalia; st Edward’s crown, the sceptre and orb. It didn’t even cover the Imperial State Crown, the most commonly used and probably famous crown
@@owlman_ brah your government has brainwashed there young generation by telling them they helped others search in you tube you will find many of your cruelties
The Koh-I-noor wasn't gifted it was demanded to be surrendered by the British by way of the Last Treaty of Lahore after the Second Anglo Sikh war. There is a British account of this in the Tower of London Crown Jewels exhibit.
If St. Edwards Crown was only worn by Charles II, James II, William III, George V, George VI and Elizabeth, then what crowns were the monarchs in-between crowned with? Do they still exist?
From what I recall, the crown was actually used in the coronations of the "in-between" monarchs, but not actually placed upon their heads. It was King Edward VII that restarted the ancient tradition after it fell out of practice for 200 years.
Neat. But I was expecting something along the lines of "this stone came from this colony, this other stone came from this other colony, and this piece ...."

Here fun fact is everything in queens palace has a worst past to reach there from where it actually belongs to but,we appreciate them for their acting that nothing happened 😄👏👏
You forgot the part about all of it being stolen, and the bloodshed and pain and suffering crimes against humanity, that stains it all .. All stolen goods. That's the curse.
They weren't stolen, as it was the settlers who found them and sold or gave them to the British government. The naturals were wearing grass loincloths and fought with spears. They weren't mining and using gems.
@@owlman_ What a world hey, the rules get to be made by those that want to benefit from them😂Your settlers were also known as colonialists for a reason my friend. Do you happen to know what happens when a country is colonised? And are you justified in taking property from another person's land just because they don't know that it actually exists in his land? Do you think you could win in a court of law as the "settler"?
Good god, this “expert” they’ve brought on sounds like he’s a sixth grader giving a history presentation in front of his class. His deadpan monotone, the lack of character, and the staid cadence is almost distracting from how boring it is.
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.
@@LogBarc And that attitude is why a lot of Scots want to leave the “United” Kingdom. How were the crowns united? It was a takeover dipshit. Of course it’s important! Which crown was the first to be placed on the coffin? It wasn’t the relatively new bling cos the English sold/ melted those. At least ours were kept safe.

What's this guy's background? Seems like you'd have a British person doing it, and this man seems very ill at ease, not to mention his odd pronunciation: "The" pronounced as "thuh" before a vowel: "Thuh end" " Tem-POR-al" rather than "TEM-poral". Grammatically: "The monarch keeps it with THEM"?? Is the Monarch two people?
Glad I'm not the only person feeling particular about this guy's presentation of himself and his subject. Feels like he agreed to do this video because they were paying more than he'd have expected. His words sound dashed off and careless, and his face bears an expression to match.
Okay, “them” can be used singularly. Every could English speaker knows this. He said “them” because the monarch could be a man or a woman. Britain doesn’t work on agnatic primogeniture and never has
