Queen Consort Camilla will receive Kohinoor crown: Daily Mail

Date:

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96, after 70 years on the throne. Her eldest son Charles, the Prince of Wales, has naturally become the King and will be called King Charles III.

An important change that will take place concerns the Kohinoor diamond.

Earlier this year, the Queen had announced that Prince Charles wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, would become Queen Consort when he accedes to the throne. When this will happen, Camilla will receive the Queen Mother’s famous Kohinoor crown.

The Kohinoor is a 105.6 carat diamond steeped in history. The diamond was found in India in the 14th century and changed many hands over the course of centuries. In 1849, after the British annexation of Punjab, the diamond was ceded to Queen Victoria. It has been part of the British Crown Jewels since then – but continues to be the subject of a historic ownership dispute among at least four countries, including India.

The Kohinoor diamond is currently set in a platinum crown created for Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) for the 1937 coronation of King George VI. It is kept on display in the Tower of London.

UK-based Daily Mail said in an exclusive report that the priceless platinum and diamond crown will be placed on Camilla’s head when Prince Charles becomes King.
