In the first episode of How it Started, How it's Going, expert Joe Kendrick investigates the Coronation Regalia, delving into three of its most significant - and dazzling - pieces: St Edward’s Crown, the Sovereign’s Orb, and the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, uncovering how these historic objects have evolved through time.

No offense but how can someone sound so enthusiastic yet depressed at the same time
🥶
It's hard for Americans, but that's the first part of nailing down a UK accent.
For those who are wondering why they're picture of 2 different orbs. Is because of the double Coronation of William III and Mary II
When
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.
@@baraxor Technically, couldnt the sovereign choose to use Mary's orb instead at the coronation? Its not like one is significantly older or anything.
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! 👏👏👏
It really is awful to listen to. I couldn’t do it.
How would he know about all the royalty stuff. ? I don’t think it’s taught in American schools…
@@Stand663did you know that it is possible to learn without a curriculum and that some people are intellectually curious about the world?
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 didn't realise how heavy the Orb was and it was interesting to see the details of the crown. An engaging watch. :)
All religions are ET cults .That Orb is yet more proof, its ET a technological probe.
What a splendid idea! Having a young American 'queen' showing us the jewels of an old British Queen. Love it!👑😊
I hollered 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha yes i was thinking the same😂
Such a handsome gentleman!
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.
If Cardinals didn 't wear red what would be of the " respectability " of the Church?!
The Crown Jewels are stunning! That being said, there's another stunning item in this video. JOE! 😍
He is such a very pretty man, eh?
@@6193derek Yes, indeed!
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.
Phenomenal work
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!
So much money and effort invested in things that massage perception.
Everyone should have a few of these things in their garage!
Then it wouldn't be special any more
2:56 that's Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
HOW many Africans and Indians died. For the gemstones in those 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑. PIRATES....
None 😂
They fought with each other
Someone found sthg valuable
Preserved it
Now they still fight
Not enough.
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....
6:09 This is a common mistake: they actually smashed & took the Imperial State Crown of Charles II., not St. Edward's Crown.
Ohh i followed u in instagram.. so this is u then? Hehe.. very informative video😀
3:27 whoa, we have those maps on a big frame bought by my father here
I also have a fondness of scoundrels 😂
It’s not an orb, it’s the Holy Engrenade !
Handsome Joe !
What animal is that spotted fur coming from?
Joe Kendrick is so cute!
Really ? Tatler doing a video about the Crown Jewels gets an American who just feels like he’s lifeless lay reading it off a script ? Hm
I am somewhat upset that we didn't get mistake count at the end of the video...if we seen them all....that wasn't thst bad
Interesting
Werr are the jewels from, Africa and out if curiosity, were they given? Just curious.
So where did those gems originate from? 🧐
Is that the sovereign's orb or are you just pleased to see me?
👑😍
why only six sovereigns?i thought that since 1661 this was the crown that was used at the point of crowning?
Caraca roubaram muito nesses séculos
Joe is kind of cute ☺️
❤️
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
Guau
He’s HAWT!
Know show us where they got the gems from
Self is my last king 6
He's very handsome. I love that pale skin
Aha, Z2u reputation! yep,
This Queen needs a tiara of her own … and a mirror beside her to check on the vanity her self induced fab’lusuon. Work it gurl!
God he’s beautiful 😍
its contemporary Eric's brother
Ahem! Z2u reputation! yep!
Well, someone just had to try and steal it.
Surprising, you mention the Cullinan but not the Koh-i-Noor that adorns the Imperial state crown as a centrepiece.
He doesn't need to, the cullinan is the most important diamond on the crown
@@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. :)
That’s because it doesn’t. The Koh-I-noor isn’t in the imperial state crown. It’s in the queen mother’s crown
@@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
So the crown is over 500 years old. ?
Role Britannia
Poor bloke seems nervous. He's clearly very knowledgeable, though.
I expected an accent but not an American Northern Midwest accent
I’m from Midwest that’s not a Midwest accent
sounds like a cali accent to me
What about India’s Kohinoor???
@MsMissy really
@MsMissy And also with all the artifacts you have in your museums. Thieves
@@jzbu2534 Yes really.
@@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?
Queen Victoria for example?
@@janettesinclair6279 exactly
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.
Supposedly the reason it was not worn during coronations for those 200 years was because it is remarkably heavy, so they didn't want to wear it...
@@connorpeall8373 Thank you.
He’s so handsome 😘
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 ...."
Ho! Z2u reputation! yah!
Isn't that the diamond that was stolen from South Africa.
You want me to believe this dude normally does this? Hahaha
Ramdom....hes kinda cute
He said 1.3M dollars with dead on American accent. That confused me. I guess he really is an American who grew up in England?
Yeah I bet he likes the Crown Jewels 😂
'He sounds like a qeur, looks like a qeur acts like a quer so probalby is a quer.yes he probably is a quer. 'Bunny, your a freightfull quer what do you think?'
I’m more interested in narrator, than the Crown Jewels. There I said it
Ahem, I hate z2u. It‘s everywhere yup!
We want our Great Star Of Africa!!! That was found in South Africa in Gauteng, Pretoria on the 26th of January 1905!!
Should have bought it when it was available. It sat unsold for two years before it was acquired by the King.
Only 3 continents were known to Europe, not man lol, the people that lived in the America’s knew it existed
Nobody lived there yet
@@zachbraxton1997 What?
@@zachbraxton1997 🤣 My god. I'm finding a lot of ignorant people in this video's comments.
@@zachbraxton1997 we can tell no one lives in your head its quiet empty 🤣
Ummm ummm when is Africa getting her diamond back 😢
When they come get it😂
@@phantompizzaconsidering the numbers. very easy,
British jewels stoled from many others cultures .....bravo 👏
give back our Cullinan Diamond
Wow that's a lot of stolen property
Yeah they keep adding their stolen gems.
,
✳️ darling, how does one pull off being super camp and as wooden as a Canadian forest #luvu
The evolution on british crown is being poor first then looting world and becoming rich 😂
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 😄👏👏
Eh. I hate z2u. It‘s everywhere yea!
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.
But they aren't the most important
@@LogBarc Important to whom?
@@andyfergie To the UK and the monarchy as a whole
@@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.
@@LogBarc When the King is in Scotland he uses the Scottish crown Jewels so it's important to the King!!!
Only three continents were known to EUROPEAN** man
And african, and asian..
@@phantompizza - exactly
"Only 3 continents were made by man"
You mean Europeans?
Crowns of stolen gems from the enslaved colonies …. Should be returned to their real owners.
Their real owners are the British
@@phantompizza Incorrect.
@@asz6965 cry about it or come and get them 🤣
@@phantompizza I will do neither.
Ho, Is z2u credible? uh-huh,
At the Garden Cain murdered his Brother Abel, this lead to him being banished to earth to rule for ever .
Cain father to Metahel fathet to Elajhem father to Osiris father to Keops father to All murderers liars and thieves today British Royals.

This guy is kinda cute.
Why no mention of the Kohinoor Diamond, which was acquired by treacherous means from a 10 year old Sikh king of Punjab, India?
👌
But India took it from Afghanistans king
@@LogBarc What Afghanistan? They looted from Persia, nadir shah the king of Persia looted from Mughal India. This diamond originally belongs to Kakatiya dynasty of India. Before 1896 India was the only source of Diamond....
@@souravmandal954 Also south Africa had already had a 'diamond rush' by 1871
@@LogBarc My mistake. Date should be 1871 not 1896 but 2nd Anglo-Sikh war held on 1849.
He is a "specialist"?!?!? Then why can't he correctly pronounce "fleur-de-lis" or "ermine"? Oi vey!
Nothing to be proud of ...bloody diamonds. That's all it is!
You should be proud. I am proud of these crowns we have. The monarchy deserves these jewelleries
@@damigab a new crown should be made with even more jewels
Return to the rightful all the diamonds that have been stolen by the british empire....
All of whom have already received many, many times that worth in overseas aid.
In case you haven't noticed, no-one alive today had anything to do with events that happend in the time period you describe. Or do you believe in apportioning blame to family members and descendants, much as North Korea does?
@@robertstallard7836 the lies you tell.
@@terejosh13
Well, let's see, shall we?
Between 2016 and 2020, the UK provided around £1.9 billion of aid to India.
In 2020 alone, Africa received £2.22bn, the largest amount handed out by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office that year.
Shall I go on?
@@terejosh13 The delusions you have 😢
Hes unique looking, blond hair with amber eyes 🧐
Look at that, evolution of the Crown Jewels with stuff stolen from all over the world lol
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.
The great Star of Africa must be returned. One day Justice will be served harshly.
Lol
@@Casslaydra The ONE Principle I have lived by was told to me as a child by my mother in the 1940’s & “50”s, that is, “ Be careful how you treat people going up that ladder, bc you may have to pass them COMING DOWN” ; as you are coming down NOW!!!
I live by that Principle, TODAY!!
Have a good day.
If the Africans wanted it, they should have mined it on their own.
Colonial transactions are illegal and immoral. The concomitants mining syndicate were illegal. Get that I'm your skull lad.
@@owlman_ ouch but 🎯😂
but unfortunately it's all the result of their stolen colony.
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.
Bro just can’t enjoy some history without ruining it😭😭
AFRAID OF THE TRUTH....
EXACTLY...
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"?
All stolen
Presenter is unprofessional and sloppy..
Lousy speaker
thieves
Give back the jewels to their rightful owners
