The Queen Consort's Crown and Regalia in the British Crown Jewels


In the United Kingdom the Queen Consort, the wife of the King, is given a separate coronation as part of the wider coronation rite. For that, a separate set of royal regalia, crown jewels, are used, which includes a Consort's crown, two sceptres and a ring. In this video, I explore the history of the Queen Consort's crown (or should I say crowns) and their regalia. I look at what items survive, and what crown and regalia are available for use at the coronation in May of this year.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
