The Crown Jewels
Short History Of... is taking a short break over the Christmas period. New
episodes will continue from the 5th of January. Until then, we hope you
enjoy this repeat episode! Happy Christmas from the Short History Of...
team.
The British Crown Jewels is a priceless collection of items gathered over
eight turbulent centuries. Consisting of 100 objects decorated with
23,000 gemstones, it’s held at the Tower of London, protected by guards
and high-tech security. But why did one thief put the crown jewels down
his trousers? Which king managed to lose his own crown? And why is one
diamond so controversial that it is not invited to the coronation of
King Charles III?
This is a Short History Of... The Crown Jewels.
Written by Jo Furniss. With thanks to Anna Keay, author and former curator at the Tower of London.
