Queen Camilla’s Coronation crown has been remodelled and includes three of the late monarchs diamonds Coronation
Queen Camilla's Coronation crown, worn by the Queen Mother back in 1937, has been under the spotlight in recent weeks. It's not been a topic of conversation purely because its estimated worth by experts is a staggering 400 million, but because the controversial Koh-l-Noor diamond it was made with has been removed for this historic occasion.
According to the Daily Star, an insider revealed: "The original plan was for the Queen Consort to be crowned with the late Queen Mother’s crown when her husband acceded to the throne. The Indian gem not only has a sinister past of colonial conquest but it's been previously reported and rumoured that the Koh-l-Noor diamond was actually stolen from a 10-year-old boy. The story states that Young Duleep Singh was just a child when he inherited the Punjabi throne. He was imprisoned by the British in 1849 and forced to sign a document amending the Treaty of Lahore to give the diamond away to Queen Victoria.
