Buckingham Palace recently announced that Queen Consort Camilla as selected from the crown jewels the Crown of Queen Mary to wear at her own coronation on May 6th, 2023. Mary of Teck was a strong force within the British royal family and greatly influenced the morality and sense of duty her favorite granddaughter, Elizabeth II was famous for. The royal family have her to thank for the acquisition and preservation of several important pieces of art, antiques and especially jewelry. But her magpie collecting gained her a false reputation as a kleptomaniac. Let’s get to know this important British Queen Consort and find out why her crown is a fitting choice for Camilla.

I will never get over the irony that the Church of England has such strict rules about divorce, when it can easily be argued that the entire denomination was created because Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife

Not to mention that they had no problem with a divorced King in the past when they could have spoken up. When the Hanoverian line of the Electress Sophia was chosen to inherit should Queen Anne die childless, they knew that her son George was divorced, as that happened several years before the Act of Settlement 1710. Their main concern at that time was that he wasn't a Catholic. So many of the Stuart descendants were, but the Hanoverian line were staunch Protestants. The Electress Sophia's mother was a Stuart, the eldest daughter of James I, which was why they were offered the throne.

Reusing a crown would give it a dynastic meaning. It’s better than spending money on a new crown. What makes Queen Mary’s crown better is that it was she who paid for the crown, not the state. It’s also a symbol of a humility and responsibility. Plus Queen Mary wanted it to be the official crown for consorts, so she’d be happy too.

One historical detail that I like about King George and Queen Mary and that some people tend to forget is that they were kings when the Titanic sank. All the royal family attended a memorial service for victims of the sinking back in April 19, 1912, the day after the RMS Carpathia had arrived in New York City with the survivors. King George, along with his sons Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), Prince Albert (later King George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth II), and Prince Henry, as well as his daughter Princess Mary, and of course his wife, Queen Mary, attended a memorial service for victims of the sinking at London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral on April 19, 1912

A point people are missing is that Queen Mary’s crown was created to be the permanent crown not just for herself, but for all Queens Consort in the future. That came unstuck because Queen Mary was still alive and kicking when her daughter-in-law Elizabeth was to be crowned as the Consort of George VI. The trouble was that the old Queen Mary was going to be present at the Coronation, and expecting to wear ‘her’ crown. Ripping the old girl’s crown off her head to give to her daughter-in-law seemed a bit cruel, so they knocked up a different one for Elizabeth. That particular crown was only meant to be a one-off, just for that one particular Consort. Going back to Queen Mary’s crown is just reverting to Plan A. Edit: A point I forgot about is that Queen Mary commissioned that crown herself, and paid for it with her own money, so it really was “her” crown.

@@rogerd777 I think they would play that one by ear. The Queen Mary Crown was intended by Mary herself for the Consort to wear going forward, I don’t think she had expected to be alive at the next Coronation. They had to make a new one for Elisabeth as Mary was still around, and wanted her Crown. (And why not, it was hers - she bought and paid for it herself back in the day.) I can’t see Camilla making a fuss - I‘m pretty sure she would go with whatever fitted the overall plans best. If they wanted the QM Crown for Catherine, there’s lots of other bling - the I950’s Elisabeth Crown or the George IV Diadem for instance. From the practical point of view, I’d go with the George IV Diadem - it is lighter and easier to wear than the heavy crowns. She was struggling with the weight of the QM on Coronation day, and it might be a major difficulty umpteen years down the line.

Correction- Queen Mary's crown, with its flowing, curving arches, and its date of 1911, is plainly not Art Deco in design. It is Art Nouveau. The Art Deco crown is that of Queen Elizabeth, 1937, with its plainer, squarer outline. I have seen this erroneous description elsewhere.

She chose the crown I hoped she would. I've always thought the 1911 crown was the most attractive of all of the existing consort crowns. The arches are far more elegant than those on the Queen Mother's crown. I'll be looking forward to seeing it on the big day. Queen Mary was well known for altering and designing various pieces of jewellery to her own specifications. She commissioned the Lovers Knot tiara that Catherine now wears. That originally had pearls on the top, but they were replaced with diamonds a bit later. She also altered the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, which had been a wedding gift and was the late Queen's favourite by also removing the pearls on top. Both changes were for the better in my opinion. She accumulated a lot of the jewellery that is currently worn by the royals. She wasn't known as the Magpie for nothing.

It’s rather annoying that people keep referring to Camilla as “queen consort”. There is no need to keep repeating the “consort” part. Every previous queen of England who was married to a reigning monarch, such as Queen Mary, were also “consorts”, yet the phrase is never used when talking about them. Camilla’s rank or station within the Royal family is akin to that of any queen who has gone before her, who was married to a king. I believe people keep insisting on using this phrase, because they hate her guts. By insisting on continuously using it, they are trying to diminish her status as queen.

Queen Mary was not a kleptomaniac -- she just had an encyclopedic knowledge of all the furniture, ceramics, clocks, silverware, etc. that once belonged to a royal collection. George III's sons and other members of the Royal Family including her own brothers were notorious for handing out royal objects to girlfriends, lovers, and illegal wives. Queen Mary would sport a chair that once belonged in Windsor Castle for example, and hinted broadly that the chair would "be much at home with its siblings in Windsor Castle", and she could not leave a dinner party thinking about the poor object sitting there all alone, that sort of thing. When a host resisted her, she would send her driver around the next day to pick it up anyway. Few people had the social postion to resist her, a famous story exists that she once visited once of the Royal Aunts who lived in Kensington Palace, either a daughter or Victoria or of King Edward and pulled this line. The Royal personage's simple reply to Queen Mary about a clock in question was simply "it stays there".

@@Alusnovalotus Elizabeth II is definitely an improved descendant… Queen Mary may have been dutiful, but she failed as a mother for not noticing her own children being abused. As for George V, he was so critical and harsh that his kids developed digestion problems from the anxiety of having to eat with him during family dinners. Needless to say, they may have been effective constitutional monarchs, but as people (not royals, but people), they aren’t that extraordinary imho. In contrast, George VI was affable, strong, loving towards his daughters, and possessed a gift of dry wit (which he passed on to Elizabeth II). These qualities alone make me respect him on a much higher level than his parents. Having said this, everyone’s entitled to their own thoughts and this is, of course, a subjective topic.

That area of India and Pakistan is a trouble spot already and it’s not like the Koh I Noor will help the people if they get it back. The Elgin Marbles definitely belong to Egypt along with all the mummies and grave goods but I don’t know if they’ve said they want the Elgin Marbles back.

No one died to allow Britain to gain ownership of the Stone. Although it’s impossible to know exactly where the Koh-i-Noor came from orginally we do know it was pillaged along with Thousands of stones... Coloured stones were at that time deemed more worthy and so more valuable. Turco-Mongol leader Zahir-ud-din Babur came from Central Asia through the Kyber Pass (located between modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan) to invade "India in 1526" establishing the Islamic Mughal dynasty and a new era of infatuation with gemstones. MIllions of People died fighting wars to gain controle of areas of land that Diamonds and other stones came from. The Mughals would rule northern India for 330 years, expanding their territory ( killing millions) across nearly all of present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and eastern Afghanistan, all the while reveling in the mountains of gemstones they ... "inherited" ! Your idea has merrit for sure.

@@rms5993 you may have been convinced of that, but it is not true. It was Queen Elizabeth who called upon Charles after Harry was born and his devastation to say enough is enough. By that time at least ten affairs were very public and numerous public dalliances strongly likely, Diana had decimated him. The hoax interview had convinced Diana and those without knowledge that an affair with Camilla had started. Her husband- not the nicest of chaps and friends with some of the perpetrators- had happily entered his two bob lies, too. Charles young Equerry, seventeen has been known as Harry's 'second Dad' ever since. His name is Mark Dyer and he has been there for him, I hope he still is, but I would assume Megan's dispensed with him, too. Queen Elizabeth has been cruelly portrayed in the hoax and following scam as a cold, distant harradon, especially in the Crown. It's just not true. Queen Camilla has been a tremendous support and her stoic silence against the hate and the lies to protect Diana's boys and memory is verging on saintly. She works incredibly hard and her programs and charities are not easy. One of the most challenging is bringing women and their children into safety from Conflict Zones who have been brutally sexually assaulted and raped as War Trophies. Most often have been forced to watch it happening to their little ones and the little ones forced to watch Mums. They become untouchable in several regions and Camilla with the phenomenal women involved provides everything they need to heal and for the life they choose. Many are highly qualified, now and living their happiest lives possible. Can you see just how far those lies are from this wonderful woman? Diana's affairs ended her own marriage and several others. Can you see how far those lies are from the vibrant joy focused woman? We loved Diana so much, you deserve to know the real person. She was no lamb to the slaughter she was far too sassy for that.

Another really interesting video, thanks. Small amendment-Queen Mary wasn't a first cousin to Queen Victoria. Mary's mother Mary Adelaide was her 1st cousin. They share the same grandparents (George III and Charlotte). Also at the beginning it states the last 6 Queen Consorts but there is a gap of 4 between Mary of Modena and Queen Adelaide. (The wives of George I, II and III inc aforementioned Charlotte), and George IV. Two weren't crowned (George I's wife imprisoned etc). Also as a general note, why can't Camilla have a new crown? I learn from Lindsay that Mary paid for hers out of her personal finances, so surely Camilla is allowed to do the same? If you can't allow something for a coronation then when can you.

​@@suzyfarnham3165 Agree, it wouldn't have made any difference in the end, since Edward and Wallis never had any children - the crown would still have gone to Elizabeth; it would just have been twenty years later than actually happened (Edward died in 1972). But in that scenario, Elizabeth would have had 20 more years to enjoy her marriage, raise her children, and live a relatively "normal" life before having to shoulder the burden of being Queen. What I wonder is, would Charles and Andrew have turned out differently if Elizabeth had had that additional 20 years to be able to focus on her children's upbringing, instead of being forced to move it farther back on the burner to take over the duties of the monarch at such a young age? Another thing to wonder about, what direction would the country and WWII have taken if Edward had kept the throne, given his attitude toward the Third Reich? The outcome of WWII might have been very different, and not in a good way. There is, though, the possibility that Edward only latched onto Herr H. out of rebellion against his family. I'm sure somebody has probably written an alternate-history novel on that premise.

Well of course Edward wrote that he didn't like his mother later on in her life. She was against his marriage to Wallis and for him being sent away out of sight and out of mind to the benefit of the monarchy after the abdication,. Nor was she happy about him undoing all her hard work to preserve the monarchy by absconding from his duties and eventually abdicating. I also imagine it was easier to be involved with the upbringing of her grandkids than her own kids as she was no longer having to fulfil the duties of queen.

@@reitapresley925 Charles has no Romonov blood. George V and Tsar Nicholas II were related through their mothers. Queen Alexandra, Edward VII’s wife, was a princess of Denmark and Tsarina Elizabeth, birth name Dagmar, was Queen Alexandra’s sister, also a Princess of Denmark. Nicholas wife Alexandra was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria as her mother was Queen Victoria’s daughter Princess Alice. Their children were blood relatives of Queen Victoria but the Tsar was related by marriage. Prince Philip’s mother was related to the Romanov’s through his mothers Danish Royal blood. That’s why he, not Queen Elizabeth gave a DNA sample to confirm the identity of the bodies of the Romanovs. They only died 105 years ago, not 300.

@@kathleenwarner5183 No, diana stopped so low as to sleep with other married men and do to other women what she was supposedly so hurt about. She also stooped so low as to try and publicly humiliate her sons' nanny over rumors of an abortion she didn't have and didn't stop until legal action was threatened against her. All because she was jealous of the nanny because her sons were close to her (the nanny). Also Charles never wished to be a tampon, if you actually read what was said, he said with his luck he would be a tampon, meaning it wasn't his first choice. Idk about you but I find sleeping with multiple married guys and stalking exes to be far less respectable than joking about a tampon. diana was in her 30's when she did most of these stunts, quit pretending she was a perptual teenager.
