While Queen Elizabeth had never sung a note, she was awarded a Gold Record for album sales. The Queen threw a huge party in 2002, called the “Party at the Palace.” This Jubilee was celebrated as the Queen of England in her fiftieth year. EMI released a live CD recording of the concert. It has sold over 100,000 copies in the first week. The Queen got an honor due to reaching a gold record milestone. She is the only Royal who was given an award like that.

Westminster Abbey
Owned Since: 1066
Valued At: Priceless
For anyone visiting London, Westminster Abbey is a tourist hotspot. It’s such a part of British culture that Comcast’s NBC shot an episode of Friends just outside it. Since 1066, the abbey has been the home of each British coronation, but a specific religion does not govern it. Instead, a “Royal Peculiar” is dubbed, meaning it serves the sovereign. Inside the Abbey walls, many iconic events have occurred, from Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding to Diana’s funeral in 1997.
