According to Royal.uk, the official royal website, the orb is the second most significant object in the ceremony.
They said the orb is a “globe of gold” surrounded by a litany of precious gems.
The site revealed it included “a cross girdled by a band of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphire and pearls with a large amethyst at the summit”.
Aside from the regalia, which remains within the Royal Family exclusively, politicians directed most of the event.
