Empress Eugénie’s Crown Suffered Major Damage in Louvre Heist, Now Headed for Restoration

The crown of Empress Eugénie, taken in the Louvre burglary last October, was dropped on the sidewalk and badly damaged—its arches bent, its bejeweled cross toppled, and a golden eagle missing. The Louvre released photos of the damage and announced a restoration process estimated at about 40,000 euros, to be overseen by a committee of experts with work expected to finish by year’s end. Investigations have led to charges against five suspects, while most other jewels remain missing and the Apollo Gallery remains closed.

"King Charles III's Cost of Living Promise and Billion-Dollar Crown Steal the Spotlight in UK Politics"

King Charles III opened Parliament in the UK, promising to "ease the cost of living" and reduce inflation, while wearing a crown estimated to be worth billions of dollars. The Imperial State Crown, adorned with thousands of diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls, is believed to be valued between $3-$5 billion. The king's speech, drafted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, outlined the Conservative Party's agenda, but it remains unclear which policies the king supports or opposes. The government's commitment to future oil and gas field licensing contrasts with the king's emphasis on green energy. King Charles III ascended the throne in September 2022 after his mother's 70-year reign.

Canada's new national crown faces criticism for replacing Christian imagery with snowflake.

Canada's national crown has been redesigned to remove Christian symbols and replace them with a stylized snowflake, causing criticism from some who see it as symbolically divorced from the nation's past and even dubbing it the "Trudeau crown." The redesign was undertaken without consultation or debate, developed in secret, according to some experts. The snowflake symbolism was accurate, but some critics have denounced it as celebrating the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau's government has been criticized for being repressive, to the point of being compared to the Communist regime in China.
