Crown jewels will be displayed for King Charles' coronation

In one week, Britain's ancient and priceless crown jewels will be on full display for King Charles's coronation. But for the first time in over a century, one diamond, so synonymous with the British Empire, will be hidden from view.

I wasn't that interested in the England Royal family from the UK, but I come to notice over the years and I find it odd that the media only has the British Royal family as the only celebrity Royal family in the world. It is odd that we don't hear about in the media about the other 25 royal families that exist in the 21st century or real life royal families which still are existent in the world. It would be interesting to see someone cover about them. I used to think monarchies didn't exist anymore when I was younger and thought the England Royal family or British Royal family of the UK was the only one that actually existed even as a constitutional monarchy. I think King Charles is a changed man, although I have to admit many think that Princess Diana would have made a much better Queen then Camilla, but then again every man has a choice in life and personally I think Charles traded down from Diana to Camilla to this day to be honest.

Let's be real, how many other countries have given back what they have plundered hundreds of years ago in recent years? That's just what was considered ok to do. I don't think England should have to give it back if they don't want to. And I am definitely against people pressing them to do so. What countries should do is just be honest about how they got treasures. Weather it was a legit gift or through conquest. People complain waaay to much. No one seems to like or accepts change unless it suits them.

please give back the crown jewels to India and Africa

[uchechiuwanaka]

Thank you for talking about it. I also saw in the news that the big diamond 💎 on the scepter is from South Africa 🇿🇦

[MahinderSG]

As an Indian, I rather have the diamond kept in the UK. It will probably vanish if it was returned back to India.

I know every man has his reasons for choosing women, but how King Charles went from Princess Diana to Camilla still doesn't make much sense to me. I felt he traded down trading Diana for Camilla.

WE DON'T WANT TO SEE 'HIS CROWN JEWELS' wrinkled and shrunken

[juliaperry]

the crown jewels are on display all the time in the Tower, The diamond was given to Victoria as she was empress of India, France has something that belongs to us but we have never asked for it back, they are taking wonderful care of it, this latest president did wonder if the tapestry could come over for visit so people over here had more chance of seeing it but the french experts said it was too delicate. things happen in the past not the fault of people alive now so no apology or anything else needed

[torrisimoneaux]

Of course the Monarchy doesn’t want to talk about it, they want to keep it, without controversy. I think we should talk about it….

[patriciagurwitz]

I guess the British will find every excuse to not give it back. Unfortunately this story will never go away and will haunt the British Monarchy.😮A wrong is a wrong until you do the right thing, NO EXCEPTIONS

[thundercatt]

I just want y'all to acknowledge (Queen Puabi) ...Sumer and Egypt, their roots were in ancient India

[janetwilcock]

A descendant of the Maharaja who gave the diamond to Queen Victoria says he was looking forward to seeing it used at the Coronation and is disappointed that it isn’t going to be worn by the Queen Consort.

[mauriceturner]

This is a deceptive title. This is one crown that won't be used in the coronation.

I hope they blur the image Children may be watching..

Lucky plebs getting to have a peek at stuff we own.

[marymoriarity]

What bunch of BS Queen consort my foot

[teresalegler]

Grateful Gifts!? Really! Returning to the true original owner is the correct thing to do. If someone goes to your home or office and takes your personal possessions, that’s known as stealing. No if’s ands or buts about it. Stealing from a child even more heinous.

[Katimashi]

Wonder how.many slaves died for all that.

[carolinemcallister]

Ok but past 100 years or more all rights related to the stone expired I guess 🤷‍♀️

[fawwadshafi]

Anita Anand wants to talk to about the where the diamond is from but conveniently omits to mention that the diamond was stolen from Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. I am in Lahore Pakistan. Give it back. 🙏🇵🇰😊
