The King and Queen will attend the State Opening of Parliament today (November 7) and will be wearing some impressive items of the Crown Jewels - including a piece which was stored in a biscuit tin
King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend the State Opening of Parliament today - the first of the new reign. The King opened the last session of Parliament on his late mother's behalf in May 2022 with Prince William in their roles as Counsellors of State.
The King's Crown Jewels are some of the most famous and priceless artefacts in the country. During World War Two, the jewels found a new home so that they would be better protected to stop them from falling into enemy hands. He explained how King George VI then ordered a "deep hole" to be dug in the grounds of Windsor Castle "beneath a sally port, one of the secure entries to the castle, and two chambers constructed with steel doors.”
Bruce revealed that explaining the incredible story to the Queen was unique. He said: "What was so lovely was that the Queen had no knowledge of it. Telling her seemed strangely odd."
