The History of the Imperial State Crown

6, December, 2008 Discuss it What they said

The History of the Imperial State Crown presented by Her Majesty the Queen.

It is fascinating, rare footage of the Queen talking directly about a royal object. She almost never talks about the royal life or regalia, with the exception of this video and a portion of “Elizabeth R”, the 1992 documentary. (see it here at YouTube.)

The music used during the crowning of the sovereign, “Zadok the Priest”, plays towards the end of the video below, and it is guaranteed to give you shivers.

Circa 1970s.

Thank you to The Internet Royal Forum via YouTube
