Tower of London

Yesterday we went to the Tower of London and let me say it was very educational (like legit). One interesting thing I learned about British culture is that, it is known if the ravens at the tower leave “the crown will fall with Britain with it”. Which is why they hold them captive in the small bird cage at the front. Also, the longest living Raven lived for 44 years and was named Jim Crow. Which I thought was very weird. My favorite exhibit was the white tower, it had all the previous king’s swords which I thought was super cool.

While being in the White Tower, I learned one of the famous prisoners were twelve year old Prince Edward V and ten year old Prince Richard. They were known as “the princes in the tower”. They are also known to be one of the ones that randomly go missing. They were put in the tower after their father passed by their uncle Richard. He took their titles and claimed the throne for himself. Soon turning into King Richard III, that was very sad to hear because they were so young.

While being there I also did get to see the Crown Jewels. I was naughty and took a photo of some of the crowns on the walking belt. I won’t show those because I’m scared. (so just ask me when you see me… LOL) The current crown was so gorgeous but if I’m being honest the jewels looked fake, but I could just be seeing different. It was a great trip and one that I’m glad I got to experience.
