The Koh-i-Noor Controversy Surrounding King Charles and Queen Camilla's Coronation Crown

Queen Camilla will not wear the Koh-i-Noor diamond on her crown during her coronation to avoid offending "political sensitivities." The diamond, which has a long history of conquest and is a symbol of British imperialism, has been at the center of debates for decades, with demands from India for its return. While some activists argue that returning cultural artifacts is a way for the UK to atone for its colonial past, Buckingham Palace's decision to use other gemstones on the queen-consort's crown suggests a limited sensitivity to the issue.
