Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work | The Crown Jewels | PBS

The British crown jewels are so precious that they travel in secret and can only be handled by one man, the crown jeweler. He gives a guided tour of the crown, which Queen Elizabeth II dons for the incredibly lush and symbolic ceremony that opens Parliament each year. See it all on PBS’s six-part miniseries Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work. For more information visit www.pbs.org/monarchy
