Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These unique objects represent the powers and responsibilities of the monarch. The Coronation Regalia were most recently used at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and include the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, the Sovereign’s Orb, and the Coronation Spoon.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are strict rules surrounding the crown jewels, and only three people in the world are allowed to touch them: the current monarch (that’s now King Charles III), the Archbishop of Canterbury and the crown jeweler. For more than 800 years, the crown jewels have lived in the Tower of London.

Detailed explanation-3: -“I’m way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself. Because it’s the difference between, [The Crown] is obviously fiction, take it how you will, but [the press] is being reported as fact because you’re supposedly news.

Detailed explanation-4: -The origin of a distinct royal jewel collection is vague, though it is believed the jewels have their origin somewhere in the 16th century. Many of the pieces are from overseas and were brought to the United Kingdom as a result of civil war, coups and revolutions, or acquired as gifts to the monarch.
