The golden crowns are worth millions a piece and set with precious jewels
previously said the diamond was a gift from Maharaja Duleep Singh—an 11-year-old emperor of the Sikhs—the child’s mother had reportedly been imprisoned by the British and coerced into signing away rights to the jewel. After the passing of Queen Elizabeth, members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in India stated that using the crown jewel in Camilla’s coronation would bring back “painful memories of the colonial past.
Instead, Camilla’s crown will be reset with the Cullinan III, IV, and V diamonds, part of the late Queen’s personal jewellery collection and often worn by her as brooches.
Despite their repeated use and historical significance, royal experts have admitted that the purpose of some of the objects remains unclear. Most of them are no older than 350 years because much of the original medieval collection was destroyed in the mid-17th century on the orders of the political leader Oliver Cromwell.
One rare survivor from the original collection that will feature in the coronation is the silver-gilt coronation spoon that dates from the 12 century. The oldest object in the regalia, the spoon was used to pour the chrism oil, consecrated at the Holy Sepulchre church in Jerusalem, before the anointing of the new King and Queen.and the first crowning to take place in the social media era, Buckingham Palace has also revealed the first official emoji created for the coronation.
