The Crown Jewels are among the nation’s most precious treasures, comprising over 100 extraordinary objects, including the Sovereign’s Orb, Armills, spurs, maces, swords, gilt and silver-gilt banqueting plate, insignia, robes, orders and medals, each expressing the status and role of the monarch.  At the heart of the collection are the sacred Coronation Regalia which we will see in the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and The Queen Consort on the 6th of May.  With stories of curses and tales of thievery, the ceremonial treasures amassed by the kings and queens of England have a rich history.
