She is a beautiful and graceful lady. thank you for posting such beautiful photos of this beautiful beautiful person.

[@mohammadibrahimkhan5754]

+Denyse Phenix she is a theif because she took the kohinoor diamond the biggest diamond of the world secretly from india

@orens60 - actually the music playing , its Symphony No 5. Movement IV by Ludwig Van Beethoven ... @modernmonarchy - No need to worry about any copyright infringement with the music, its public domain.

[@rowwdycolt654]

Beautiful jewelry. Thanks for the video.

[@richardring4959]

The diamond in the Imperial State Crown is the 2nd biggest and is called the second star of Africa.The largest is in the Royal Sceptre and That is the star of Africa.No's 3 & 4 are set in a broach HM wore at the Diamond Jubilee[she calls the 'Granny chips-after Queen Mary] and No 5 is also set in a heart shaped broach,these are called the lesser stars of Africa.Other diamonds cut from the original Cullinum diamond are in necklaces,one of which the late Queen Mother wore often.

[@richardring4959]

Her grandparents also returned from the Delhi Durbar in 1911laden with vauables that haven't seen the light of day since.Even the Delhi Durbar tiara was in The Queen Mothers collection and made its 1st appearance since 1911 on Camillas head at a state banquet in 2005.I don't know if she's worn it since as she now wears the queen mothers favourite tiara - The African diamond honeycomb tiara which she wore to this years state opening.She IS planning to be Queen at King Charles' side.

[@richardring4959]

The cullinum diamond was presented to Edward VII by the S.African gov't as a birthday present but it was this Queen's grandmother queen Mary who presided over its cutting and installing into various Royal Pieces.Nothing was stolen as you put it.

[@sinfonia07]

The music is as magestic as it is de jewels...thank you.

[@nadavukicevic1400]

These jewelry are beautiful.

[@MandyJMaddison]

We get to see about 4 tiaras, and about 5 necklaces, plus the pearls. One tiara has interchangeable pearls and emeralds, and is worn with two entirely different necklaces. The ruby necklace is very old, Russian, and the white dress was made for it. The two huge diamonds are called the "Chips". The Queen took them to Amsterdam in the 80s, so the man who cut the Cullinan diamond could see them again, after about 50 years.

[@brixtonbabe]

And I thought that the late Dame Taylor had an impressive collection!! Simply stunning!!

[@richardring4959]

The 'ruby' is actually a Spinell.Ther's a video on youtube called The Imperial State Crown By Queen Elizabeth II.She speaks about the history of some of the stones.It has occured to me that due to her age HM could use Queen Victoria's 'small crown' at the state opening of parliament and have the imperial state crown carried on a cusion in front of her as European monarchs do or even wear The George IV diadem throughout the ceremony.I am dissapointed that Kate doesn't use the Royal tiaras AT ALL!

[@patyo1994]

@35777 btw I meant ancestors not "decendants" - The Crown Jewels cannot be sold (nor can they leave the country) as it's law which cannot be changed - too many people would object and see it just be bought by some Saudi oil tycoon - & her personal jewelry collection mostly hasn't been bought by her anyway, just passed down or gifted. Selling jewelry won't fix the world's problems - it's unfortunately far deeper than that. Though the royals do involve themselves with charity (ie Prince's Trust)

[@SILVERCLOUD141]

All Royalty is Royalty by default the Queen was good looking when she was younger and looks well now for 86. She isn't usless she is our head of state and is respect around the world unlike the Spanish Monarchy.

[@ds1868]

Yes indeed Number 1 is in the sceptre, number two as you say positioned at the front of the Imperial State Crown. I'm amazed that so many people think these and other gems have been stolen. As you know the green emerald in the cross belonged to Edward the Confessor, the large red stone (not a ruby apparently, perhaps you can remind me the term) was worn by Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt, etc. Why are some people so bitter and ignorant?

[@Gibcalifornia]

The British Royal family is living history at its best spanning over a thousand years. Many do not comprehend this. Our royal family brings million of UK pounds of investment to our country, creating jobs and boosting our economy. The UK has a constitutional monarchy, a modern democracy, it's the people which rules, and elect a government and an opposition

[@BlackzSmoke]

@MandyJMaddison The Indians associate with The kohinoor diamond which clearly belonged to India. The diamond originated in the Kollur region of Guntur district in present day Andhra Pradesh, one of the world's earliest diamond producing regions, some time in the 1200s during the Kakatiya rule.

[@BlackzSmoke]

@MandyJMaddison Maharaja Ranjit Singh was crowned ruler of Punjab and willed the Koh-i-noor to the Jagannath Temple in Orissa from his deathbed in 1839. But after his death the British administrators did not execute his will.[7] On 29 March 1849, the British raised their flag on the citadel of Lahore and the Punjab was formally proclaimed to be part of the British Empire in India.

[@yalimuljerusalem9693]

Omg.. I wanna fall asleep right now so that i could wear all that royalty diamond in my dream lol! Ohh... I love to wear all of that! :)

[@MandyJMaddison]

@MandyJMaddison "Exploitation" is the accurate word to describe the actions of the British in India. But it also describes the actions of the Turks, the Afghans, the Mughals, the Maharathas and the Portuguese. So, what did India ultimately gain from British rule?

[@muhammadhassan9804]

Her Majesty jewles are beautiful like Her

[@ladya.a.weiszer30]

Long live the Queen, Her Majesty.

[@mrutunjayadhikari3587]

long live the bitch.long live her fucked up majesty.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@aaGirlification Now that the Queen is in her 80s, her work load has been cut back. Diana was popular and the media made her look like a saint. If Princess Anne had been beautiful, she would have got the same attention. Anne once remarked that if Diana went to the ballet, it made headlines, while when Anne went to Northern Ireland, during the "troubles" which you are probably too young to remember, (her uncle and his family were blown up there), the media ignored it.

[@redmond12400]

@sueharristication Is that a English word you call yourself? Good for you.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@BlackzSmoke Thank you for explaining about the Goddess..

[@patyo1994]

@35777 Some don't belong to her they belong to the Crown and therefore she is powerless to sell them etc. and the others are mainly acquired from decendants

[@CIBOYPRODUCT]

THE QUEEN HAS THE STAR OF AFRICA

[@matildanmimi]

Most of the jewelry shown is not Queen Elizabeths but in fact they belong to the crown ie: the people. The queen just has the honour of wearing them at will. The necklace at 1.48 I have recently read was given to Kate as a wedding present from the Queen.She looked radiant in it. She will look radiant in any jewelry she is to wear including a crown in the future. She will not wear the Imperial State crown that the Queen wears. That is for the monarch, male or female.

[@BlackzSmoke]

@MandyJMaddison Also all the gold thrones and status of tipu sultan were seized by the british after his death. Most of them were melted down recently but some still remain. These are a part of Indian Cultre and the people associate with it. Its almost a part of their identity

[@SILVERCLOUD141]

God Save the Queen long may she reign.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@YorkGod1 What you suggest sounds like a good idea, but the Queen doesn't actually own most of the jewels. FYI, in the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Queen made the largest donation by any individual in the world. The Royal family contributes far far more to charity, by their work, than those jewels would bring, if sold. The enormously rich Arabs do very little to benefit the poor and needy, and own far more jewels than you see here. They go on PRIVATELY amassing wealth and art.

[@allan8306ify]

@julia393n its the protocol of meeting the pope women must dress in all black only a catholic queen can wear a whole white outfit ex . queen sofia of spain,u can find some video of her wearing all white and meet the pope

[@hermieb.8511]

Imelda Marcos can be lined to the queen with her jewelries...just saying..

[@mdryanstern]

For all you haters, the British monarchy has been receiving gifts for 1000 years from other monarchs, nobles, or just wealthy courtiers. Unless you are a Communist, you would not begrudge the family some heirlooms. It is good to be queen!

[@narendrainamdar137]

theft by force under name of gift

[@forsythbill1]

The crown jewels and the honours of Scotland do not belong to the sovereign personally rather most of the royal collection is held in trust and cannot be sold.

[@petrusprimusmaximus]

As for India, (and I am not British), one must give the UK credit for building the foundations of modern India. It was the 'colonizers' who unified a collection of warring states, mainly ruled by vain princes, & gave it at least an early infrastructure, schools, and a civil service. Compare other nations of 'potential' like Congo (ex-Zaire).....

[@MrSwifts31]

For good or bad the Pope is considered a head of state(Head of the Vatican state), and protocol there dictates that Ladies(and Gentlemen) when receiving an audience of the Pope should wear black. The Queen is a stickler for protocol,so there you have it.

[@derrycklabeija1815]

The sad part is. When she passes away. She can't take, or wear any of these jewels beyond the grave. Earthly treasures. The spirit world doesn't acknowledge any of this. Smh. Power and royalty has no defense towards death. Wow....

[@francisjantan1985]

[@MandyJMaddison]

@MandyJMaddison The Queen has no say as to how much royal money goes into the government. The arrangement has been in place for 200 years. The govt. makes a sizeable profit from the Royal family. As for income, the Queen recently told her two granddaughters, Bea and Eugenie, to get out and get regular jobs like everyone else. Princess Anne (aged 60s) is the hardest working royal and deserves more thanks. She does all the sh*twork that no-one else wants. She does FAR more than Di ever did.

[@sarmadasco]

Own comment, now. he Queen, does not decide, one day, to march into Cartier and buy some jewels. Does not happen. Most all have been handed down for centuries and many, from other monarchies that were related to the Windsors but are defunct (like the Romanov's and Hohenzollern's). So she is not spending her money or the peoples, to buy a new crown, though I am sure she has bought a few trinkets through the 60 years she has been queen, most are all hand me downs. GBHM!

[@SILVERCLOUD141]

@YorkGod1 Im sorry are you saying to sell the crown jewels to lift people out of poverty? and the money spent on the Queen? we actually make money from the royal family around 150 million a year plus tourists there is no way the jewels could or would be sold they don't belong to the Queen they belong to the state and are pretty much priceless.

[@B00MH0]

@35777 absolutely right

[@ds1868]

That's the wrong crown. The first crown you mention is the Imperial State Crown, and has the largest diamond in the world but is the Star of Africa, whcih was gifted to Edward VII by the South African government. The Kohinoor is a much smaller diamond, and is set in Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's crown. If you're going to be rude, at least get your facts right first!!

[@MandyJMaddison]

@redmond12400 I really hate know-it-alls that know as little as you do! The big diamonds came from South Africa. The huge ruby was won in a battle about 700 years ago. The huge sapphire has been in the family for 400 years. The yellow diamonds were a coronation gift from Australia. The ruby necklace is from Russia. There IS a large square-cut diamond from India. It is cursed so that no man can wear it and live. The Queen Mother wore it regularly and lived to to the age of 101.

[@castorpollux6076]

@MandyJMaddison The rule ended 60 years ago.After 60 years of american independence the gdp stood at a mere 12,548 compared to the 8,430,762 in 2003. 60 years is not much time. Sure there are corrupted politicians in India but isn't the same true for every country? The fact is British did a lot of unrepairable damage and left us with no identity or money. the past cannot be just forgotten.Its not propaganda. Why haven't you returned what you stole then?The Kohinoor for eg.

[@petrusprimusmaximus]

People are unbelievable. They bemoan the Queen her jewelry, which is in fact largely the property of the British state. Yet visit Russia, where the former Imperial collection is largely in the Kremlin, and there is no longer line (queue) in the museum. Everyone wants to see the Russian bijoux & eggs. Were she to display the nation's holdings in some gaudy attraction, the line would run 2 miles......

[@rowdysinghs]

More than half of it is from India ...

[@sarmadasco]

Well, if it was a fairy tale, then these people would not exist. But, in all reality, they do exist, and not only in the UK, but in half the European countries and before WWI, in all European nations (not to mention Asian, S. American, Indian, etc). They do exist and the major it are happy to have them. Perhaps it is you who needs to awaken and see what is true and what is not.

I am sorry for what my ancestors did to the world I carry their shame.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@BlackzSmoke I am not British, I made that clear. I have a number of Indian relatives. I made that clear. Very few of the jewels that you see in this video came from India. I have already told you that, as I know the origins of many of them. The largest diamonds in the Crown Jewel are from Africa. There is ONE very big diamond, from India, but it is NOT WORN BY THE QUEEN. Yet you Indians all keep on raging and raving as if it concerned YOU. It doesn't.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@BlackzSmoke I am not denying that many British policies caused problems in India, not the least being the famines. But to say that India was "a unified people" that the British divided is simply not true. India had been conquered, by force, several times in succession, by dynasties who enforced law and taxes by oppressive means. To say there was unity is a construction of modern Indian historians. To blame the British for the caste system is plainly propaganda. Do you believe it?

[@BlackzSmoke]

@MandyJMaddison And you said India was not united before the british came. That is only propaganda from the British. obviously you havent heard of chanakya or the nanda empire or the maurya empire. the people were devastated after the mughal raids and then downtrodden by the british. what you must understand is that the country was divided under mughal/muslim rule and the opposition kings were either hindu or other religions who opposed their rule.

[@MandyJMaddison]

You presume that my family were the British oppressors? My comments were about the origin of the jewels, most of which predate the British in India by centuries. Some are certainly Indian, but the most important Indian diamond, the Kohinoor, isn't on this video. You have used this video as an excuse for a rant. Why don't you create your own video response. Make it relevant. Find out what atrocities are related to the royal jewels. The Kohinoor diamond would be a good starting point.

[@MandyJMaddison]

@BlackzSmoke You say glibly "Sure there are corrupt politicians... but isn' it the same?" No. it's not. The Commonwealth Games corruption was appalling. The cost was a great burden on India because it was blown out by hundreds of corrupt Indians, from politicians to small contractors. People, who should have been proud to serve their country, robbing their country for personal gain. People acting dishonestly and stealing on a large or small scale that together totalled millions of dollars

[@BlackzSmoke]

@MandyJMaddison And don't speak of aids given to India. The stolen amount is around a trillion pounds, said the british officers when they left. Most experts put the amount at more than 3 trillion us(2000) dollars. 45 million dollars were spend total by the british an aid to India, srilanka and Indonesia combined. Most of it went to indonesia.
