Episode originally aired in 2022, I have added a 2024 update.
You can’t be a King without the bling, and you can’t be a Queen without the sheen. Let's learn about the artistry, history and gob-smacking value of over 20 tiaras previously owned by Queen Elizabeth II. They are printed on stamps, coins and bank notes across the globe and have been seen on millions of screens gracing the foreheads of Princess Diana, Catherine Middleton, Meghan Markle and other British royals on their wedding days. Now that the Queen has died, we'll explore who might have inherited her priceless tiaras in her will.
