In this video, I look at the history of the Little Diamond Crown Queen Victoria commissioned in 1870, its purpose and use and the inspiration for it in two other crowns - the 1761 Diamond Nuptial Crown of Queen Charlotte and the 1685 State Crown of Queen Mary of Modena.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
