    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"]

    IIRC, the King or Queen of England is technically the highest power in the Church of England. It goes back to when the King got upset with the Pope
    and created his own Church. Before that, IIRC, the King or Queen of
    England would have been sanctified by the Pope (provided that they were Catholic).

    G'day, August!

    I do believe that's the case -- for the Church of England (Anglicans, aka "Catholic Lite; 33% fewer atonements needed"); but the Archbishop of Canterbury is usually stated as being their equivalent to the Pope, so maybe the regent is the A of C?

    This is only a small group of protestants compared to the global total (I more favoured the Mennonite & Presbyterian branches(anabaptists & Calvinists)
