The gems flow uphill; we know what flows downhill.

[@susandianasmith7150]

No mention of the Brazilian aquamarines?? That gift was so appreciated by the Queen that she had matching pieces made, and this documentary skipped them??

[@loridicola627]

"Mysterious circumstances" is a funny way of saying, we stole them from you so I'm not going to wear them in front of you.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

It makes you wonder...King George was complicite in the murder of his cousin and family.

Queen Mary was very shrewd

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Perhaps a shrew?

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

I wouldn't mess with her! She started off very attractive and went downhill into looking fairly evil.

[@BerniceAnaya-xr9ne]

I would love to have a tiara or any of those jewelry that the queen had! I wouldn't care which one that I would like to have and to wear, because they are all so beautiful, gorgeous and expensive! But I would have to be a royal and I would never get to be one but I could just dream of having one!👑

Where's Alexandra?

[@aeroTnz]

Not all gems were colonized , most were gifts and other were bought by the reigning monarch

[@markthompson180]

This is about the most tone-deaf special on the British Royals that I've ever seen.

[@sunnyadams5842]

I've become atuned to a certain style of voice and intonation. It screams Meghan Markle kind of deception on it's self-serving way...ICK CLICK!

[@TwoBs]

Tone deaf? They’re historical pieces. This is a channel dedicated to history lol.
It’s possibly tone deaf if you believe something like this shouldn’t ever be discussed solely because there are other more important things going on in the world, but again, this is history after all. Not all videos about history _has_ to be about devastation, death, great achievements, struggles, war, etc. … more often than not, a lot of it is rather mundane - just like this topic, but it’s a history related topic nonetheless discussing pieces that do have historical value to them considering their relation to the royal family dating back several centuries.
I find it rather interesting considering these are pieces I’ll never own, touch, or see in person, but it’s still pretty neat to learn about. Is it information I can use in my daily life? No, but the majority of videos on TH-cam would fit that bill.
Some people like learning about pretentious shit that’s useless to the common pleb. You’re not forced to watch it lol.

[@elizabethford7263]

I wonder who gets the privilege of wearing the queen's jewels now. (please not Camilla)

[@danielgreen2788]

Funny how Diana looks more regal than any of them .

[@thomasdequincey5811]

Are you talking about the Diana who died 26 years ago, or is there a Diana on your street that you think looks quite good?

[@janel342]

Let her rest in Peace. Not exhumed every 5 minutes to fulfil some nostalgic indulgence by a public using her to reanimate a long gone dream.

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Regal?

[@hasaneurope4603]

[@thomasdequincey5811]

It's not controversial to me. But, then again, I'm not a post-colonial narcissist who has abandoned logic for whining.

[@Lambecht]

Bold words coming from someone who has abandoned logic to find documentaries on TH-cam to get mad at. 🤨

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Smugness personified 😂

Theft

[@cindiloowhoo1166]

There was a little kerfuffle or a few more going on in the work. In turn, Bangalore has “stolen” many jobs…

[@cindiloowhoo1166]

Whaaagh , It’s not fair that some places have all the mines and others don’t. Shush up and share already
