The Red crown is something that people might say when talking about someone, someone who is in control, a manipulator, or a ruler. For example:

Get the Crown Royalmug. When you're going down on a bloke whilst eating salty licorice and it leaves a ring of salty licorice stain around the head of the penis - that's a Danish Crown.

Get the Danish Crownmug. A sorry bunch of fakers. They claim to be gangstas, but nobody believes them. Their beats and rhymes are horrible. It has been established that their personal wealth only amounts to $360, which they display in an open briefcase. They suck big time.
They also claim they are going to kill 50 Cent.

Get the cash crown cartelmug. When a company continues to operate, despite being obviously insolvent and run by donkeys and employing a majority of staff members that struggle with the most basic of English language tasks. Often run by Swedish venture capitalists that sound vaguely like a product range in IKEA
Are they still running, Dave?
Yep, they are Chris. They're Anglia Crowning.
How come they are still managing to operate, they've been doing nothing for weeks!
Anglia Crowning. Just pure crowning.

Get the Anglia Crowningmug. The most prized possession or achievement.
Also a reference to colonial India. India was the British Empire's most important colony: the most populous, the most valuable, the most strategic.
Using "jewel in the crown" to refer to colonial India can also be a play on words about a real crown jewel -- the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, a large precious stone. The Diamond was taken after the defeat of the Indian Punjab by the British East India Company and subsequently mounted in the crown of queens of the British Empire. The current Queen Elizabeth II, aware that wearing the jewel offends many Indians, displays the Diamond in the Tower of London.
Because of the weight of the colonial heritage of the phrase, care must be taken when using the phrase to avoid being racist or insulting. If you lack understanding then it is best to avoid the phrase.
The phrase is often used in a jingoistic fashion in English tabloid newspapers, a recollection of the glory days of the British Empire.
The "Jewel in the Crown" is the title of the first of four books written by Paul Scott in 1966. The books are set during the closing decades of the British Raj. In 1984 these books were made into a television mini-series which was acclaimed for its high quality. Both works have a complex and unsentimental view of colonial India, making the title intentionally ironic.
With both jingoistic and ironic uses of "jewel in the crown" being common, readers should consider in what sense the phrase is meant.

Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Britain, is said to have called India "the brightest jewel in the crown of the British Empire".

Get the Jewel in the crownmug. The art of placing turds on a mates forehead while they are stone cold drunk in the pattern of a crown. Upon waking, the hours have slightly dried out the turds to a crust that must be scrubbed off.
Gary passed out last weekend and we decided to make him a crusty crown so everyone at the party knew who the king was.
