There's Usually a Bit of a Line
It’s often quite a wait to get in to see the crown jewels. I enjoy watching the video that shows the coronation ceremony and talks about the scepter, the orb, the amulet, and the other paraphanalia associated with the ceremony, and the history behind them.

yeah, I saw some of that too
For me, it was a very strange feeling seeing all the jeweled items, fancy clothes, and gold serving dishesof royalty. I just kept thinking about how the many of the people were suffering at the time. It’s amazing they didn’t revolt! When royalty is literally eating off GOLD as you are suffering on the streets!
I thought this Child’s Armour was interesting too.
