I saw a lovely show last Saturday night which showed all the jewells worn by Queen Elizabeth and what each item represented. What a wonderful history and they even showed all the designs still kept in the archives.
Hi Hola
Was it the programme about the Tower of London that you watched? We watched it also it gave an insight to some of the stories that happened over the years regarding the jewels.
Here is a site of a few more stories that I did not know.

I am aware a lot of people don't like the idea of royalty, but they cannot help being born into a particular family like non of us can.
Once, as my husband kindly puts it they were thugs and murderers!
All because of wanting the power to control their assets, rather like corporate giants in todays world!
But along came education and the population of many European countries changed the way they were governed. Not to mention the many borders of European countries after WWI. How Europe changed after that war.
One of the countries I am thinking of is Norway, has a Constitutional Monarchy but it is a leftist country politically.
The Cambridges are currently isolating at Amner Hall, in Norfolk, with Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, and aren't recruiting for their household

She is a princess and mother who has challenged the regal status quo ever since she fell in love with a wealthy member of a royal family. With her signature style and independent spirit, the avowed humanitarian set about modernising the role of women in the royal court.
Think I'm talking about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex? Think again. Meet Princess Lalla Salma, the King of Morocco's wife and mother of the Crown Prince who is beloved in her country.
However, mystery surrounds her, having been dubbed the "Ghost Princess" after she vanished from public view nearly two years ago, news.com.au reports.
There are blurry Instagram photos, swirling rumours and competing theories. The lingering question is, where is Morocco's "missing" Princess?
It's a story as old as time: Boy meets girl, boy turns out to be future king, couple fall in love and marry with the requisite massive wedding. The then-Salma Bennani met her future husband King Mohammed in 1999 at a party. She was a computer engineering student who had been raised by her grandmother. He had been crowned after taking over from his autocratic father after a 38-year despotic rule.
After tying the knot in 2002, the newly styled Princess Lalla Salma and her husband broke with longstanding Moroccan tradition that shuttered royal wives from public view. (Their photographs and even names were previously never publicly revealed.)
Instead, Lalla Salma took on a far more modern approach to life, working to prevent HIV/AIDS in Africa, founding her own cancer charity and becoming a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organisation. In 2016 when Michelle Obama visited Africa, she met with Lalla Salma to discuss women's education.
Along the way, she also fulfilled the requisite royal bride duty of providing an heir and a spare, namely son Crown Prince Moulay and daughter Princess Lalla.
According to reports, Mohammed's family were less-than-impressed by her far more liberal approach to royal life, including wearing pants in public and eschewing a headscarf in the Muslim country.
People are as thick as bricks ...idolizing Royals ???
How are they different to other humans ???
As far as I can see the Royals are rich, leaching of the poor.
