I saw an older picture of QEII holding an object in her lap:

The Sovereign's Orb:

"The Sovereign's Orb, as this part of the Crown Jewels is
officially named, is a symbol of Godly power. A cross above a
globe, it represents `Christ's dominion over the world', as the
Monarch is God's representative on Earth."

[Interesting.. but there is nothing in scripture that talks  
about post 30 AD monarchs as "God's representatives".]

[I suppose the Protestants proclaim their rep on Earth is their  
King or Queen, and the Catholics proclaim that it is the Pope.]


"Made for Charles II's coronation in 1661, the orb is a 30cm-
wide hollow gold sphere, mounted with nine emeralds, 18 rubies,
nine sapphires, 365 diamonds, 375 pearls, one amethyst and one
glass stone. The pearls divide the orb into three sections,
which represent the three continents medieval rulers believed
existed. The orb weighs 1.32 kg (roughly 43 oz)."

[I'm sure Charlie will love the photo moment with this "thing"]
