built 238 days ago
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's coronation took place in Westminster Abbey on 2 June, 1953. The coronation gown was made by Norman Hartnell, who initially turned down the honour because of the challenges that he'd have to overcome. The dress was covered with amethysts and diamonds that Hartnell felt would take advantage of the lights that would be used for the benefit of the TV cameras.

Do you remember hearing about a BBC documentary about Queen Elizabeth II this summer? During filming, Her Majesty walked out of the room in a huff when photographer Annie Leibovitz asked her to remove her crown for a photo. This is the stuff tabloid dreams are made of, and they had a field day with this tasty tidbit. But apparently it never happened: selective editing of the film footage in the trailer, which was shown to journalists, made it seem as though it did.
