Dignitaries, celebrities and the crème de la crème of civil society flew in from around the world to make their presence known at King Charles’ coronation, a once-in-a-generation event that took place on the 6 May, 2023. Very conspicuously missing from the opulent ceremony was the Kohinoor, originally a 105-carat diamond that has long been the subject of a spat between England and post-colonial India.

A priceless diamond that is part of Queen Elizabeth's crown was given to Britain and not stolen, the Center today told the Supreme Court, which is hearing a suit seeking its return.

Indian-origin British MP Keith Vaz calls for the world-famous Kohinoor diamond to be returned to India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's UK visit in November, reports the Times of India.
