Summary

Please take my listener survey to help improve the podcast: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave The Crown. The very symbols of power, wealth, majesty and royalty. You can’t be the King without the Bling. Let’s take a look at the 1500 year history of the British crown jewels. They have been washed away in the sea, stolen from a grave, melted down to make coins, sold off to pay princely debts, and pilfered from countries across the globe to end up on the heads of Britain’s Kings and Queens. We will soon be seeing many of the Crown Jewels on our Screens at the coronation of King Chalres III and Queen Consort Camilla on the 6th of May, 2023.
